Why thermal batteries could replace lithium-ion batteries for energy storage
Thermal batteries store renewable energy as heat, offering a cost-effective way for industries like steel and cement to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
The stored heat can then be released when needed, making thermal batteries ideal for powering the manufacturing of steel, cement and chemicals By 2027, Rondo Energy plans to expand production to 90 gigawatt-hours annually, a scale that could cut 12 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. Despite their promise, thermal batteries face hurdles, including high upfront investment and a lack of familiarity among industrial users.
