US startup Antora deploys 5GWh thermal energy storage system at biofuels facility in South Dakota
Charging occurs when electricity is used to resistively heat the carbon blocks, with their high thermal conductivity enabling fast charging. The blocks then store energy at temperatures up to 2,400°C, high enough to enable the thermal battery to serve continuous industrial demand for multiple days. In addition, Antora has developed thermophotovoltaic (TPV) heat-to-power technology that converts…
