Decarbonizing Industrial Heat
While electric vehicles and rooftop solar have decarbonized consumer energy, heavy industry—steel, cement, chemicals, and glass—still relies almost exclusively on burning fossil gas to achieve 1,000°C process heat.Sweden's KlimatTech has closed a €40M Series A round led by European impact powerhouse Norrsken VC and EQT Ventures to commercialize its modular thermal energy storage batteries.The Nordic Clean Energy Advantage
The Nordic grid produces Europe's cheapest renewable power during windy nights. KlimatTech's thermal batteries absorb this ultra-cheap electricity, convert it to 1,200°C thermal energy inside insulated mineral containers, and deliver constant steam and heat to industrial factories 24/7."Decarbonizing industrial heat represents 15% of global emissions. Sweden has proven that deep-tech engineering and climate impact can deliver premier venture returns."
