Antora Energy

According to a recent article by the World Economic Forum, hard-to-abate sectors account for 40% of global emissions, and their decarbonization progress is falling behind what’s needed to meet our climate goals. Industrial energy is one of the biggest drivers of both emissions and costs for these hard-to-abate sectors. Industry requires reliable, 24/7 energy, and our cheapest clean energy sources are intermittent. Antora’s American-made thermal batteries cost-effectively and reliably store this energy to power always-on industrial operations with low-cost renewable electricity.

Today, Antora is thrilled to announce a strategic collaboration with Electrified Thermal Solutions, Fourth Power, RedoxBlox, and Rondo Energy to launch the Thermal Battery Alliance, a first-of-its-kind industry coalition. Together, we are committed to deploying thermal battery technologies to transform the industrial and power sectors. Thermal batteries are a breakthrough American technology that increases the competitiveness of the U.S. industrial manufacturing base and bolsters the country’s grid reliability while lowering energy costs. Thermal batteries charge with cheap, off-peak clean power and store that intermittent energy as heat. This heat can be delivered around-the-clock to drive industrial operations, or converted on-demand into electricity to power factories and meet grid demand. The Thermal Battery Alliance is committed to spotlighting how American innovation can unlock a competitive and clean domestic manufacturing sector, create well-paying jobs, and reduce costs for U.S. energy consumers.

Meet Cece Luciano, Antora’s TPV Module Development and Test Engineer. Inspired by the need to address climate change, Cece is working on clean energy technology to decarbonize manufacturing, the single biggest source of global emissions. “If I saw the things that I would be working on at Antora, I would be blown away,” Cece says. "We are tackling new problems with novel and unique technologies every day." Ready to make an impact? View our open roles here: https://lnkd.in/eb3-EGie  

As detailed in a recent The Wall Street Journal article, by 2030, renewables are projected to grow faster than energy demand, while fossil fuel usage is expected to peak then decline, accounting for only 58% of energy demand by 2050.

Antora was recently featured in pv magazine USA, in an article detailing the growing investment in battery technology—expected to reach $800 billion by 2030.    “Antora Energy is an example of an energy storage startup that successfully navigated market validation and technical milestones,” writes Johanna Lee Jamison, MPA and Nikhil B. Gargeya. “Antora Energy has commercialized a breakthrough thermal battery, providing zero-emissions energy to industrial operations and addressing the largest single source of global emissions.”    Discover how Antora’s thermal batteries power always-on industrial operations with low-cost renewable energy: https://lnkd.in/e3vG4PjS

Just released: Antora’s first feature in a children’s book! We’re proud to work on a product that’s simple and makes sense to just about everyone—and we’re grateful to Maggie Benson for including Antora’s thermal batteries in the “Electrify Everything” chapter of her new book, The ABCs of Climate Solutions.

Thermal batteries are a win-win for American industry and American workers, Jeffrey Rissman, Senior Director at Energy Innovation Policy and Technology LLC, detailed today in an article published in Thermal Processing Magazine. “Thermal batteries are poised to transform industrial heating,” wrote Jeff. “They have the potential to deliver significant cost and revenue improvements for manufacturers, bolster American energy security and electricity system resilience, and reduce conventional and greenhouse gas pollution, benefitting workers, communities, and the environment.” The article details how thermal batteries: 1️⃣ Help industries electrify their processes without increasing peak demand on an electric grid. 2️⃣ Improve local air quality by lowering onsite emissions, which benefits nearby residents and manufacturing workers.  3️⃣ Soak up excess, low-market-value electricity, thus lowering energy costs for manufacturers. 4️⃣ Reduce the carbon intensity of manufactured goods, making industry more competitive domestically and globally. https://lnkd.in/emi39kKn

Antora was just recognized as one of the Most Innovative Companies in Battery Storage by World Finance Magazine’s 2024 Innovation Awards. Learn how Antora’s thermal batteries power industrial operations with reliable, low-cost renewable energy: https://lnkd.in/eDv4g-3E

This week, we were proud to host a group of distinguished clean energy policy leaders to see Antora’s technology in action and discuss how thermal batteries unlock cost-effective clean energy for American industry. The group visited Antora’s first installation near Fresno, toured our thermal battery factory in San Jose, and got an inside peek into the world’s first dedicated production line for heat-to-power TPV technology in Sunnyvale. Thank you to this incredible group that came together discuss the future of industrial energy: Ben King of Rhodium Group, Bruce Nilles of Climate Imperative Foundation, Craig Segall of Evergreen Action , Cristina Shoffner of Breakthrough Energy , Curtis Seymour of ac strategies, Dale Bryk of Harvard University and Convenors Network, David Soll of Great Plains Institute, Delaney Hunter of California Advisors, LLC, Jose Tengco of BlueGreen Alliance, James Prussing and Mary Margaret Allen of Boundary Stone Partners, Jeffrey Rissman of Energy Innovation Policy and Technology LLC, Julien Barber of Emerson Collective, Lauren Kubiak of Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Melissa Hulting of Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), Nathan Iyer of RMI, Rafae Ghani of ClearPath, Richard Hart of The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)), and Scott Shell of ClimateWorks Foundation.
