Producing heat for industrial processes is highly energy intensive. In fact, industrial heat accounts for almost a quarter of total energy consumption globally. That’s a significant cost for industry and, given that fossil fuels are the primary energy source, it is also a major contributor to climate change. Low-cost renewables are increasingly being used instead, but the intermittent nature of these power sources harms viability. Without cost-effective, low-carbon heat on demand, industrial producers will struggle to compete in a rapidly decarbonizing global economy.
Deployment of world’s first thermal energy storage system for direct air capture with Deep Sky
Garma Energy produces modular thermal energy storage (TES) systems that make clean, reliable heat available whenever it’s needed. By capturing and storing excess renewable electricity, Garma delivers industrial heat on demand that’s low-cost and low carbon.
With the help of NorthX funding, Garma is accelerating and validating this new technology by partnering with Deep Sky’s Alpha project—a Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility run on renewables. During times when electrons are not needed for the DAC process, they will be redirected to the Garma TES system to convert into heat. The heat will then be stored and used on demand to produce steam for the Deep Sky process.
