Electrify your business with thermal energy storage

With ENERGYNEST, your company can store generated electricity, excess heat, or surplus steam and use it as heat at a later time—precisely when you need it. This tailored solution for the food industry ensures more efficient energy use. It makes your operations more flexible and stable, while also providing financial benefits.

Making energy use more efficient and reducing CO2 emissions

The food industry faces the challenge of improving energy efficiency and lowering CO2 emissions. Many companies are looking for ways to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels for heat and electricity.

Flexibility is essential for transitioning to sustainable energy and phasing out fossil fuels. Our storage systems help companies maximize the use of their energy—whether it comes from renewable or conventional sources—and accelerate their journey toward sustainability.

Is your company seeking solutions to:

• Achieve greater flexibility and efficiency in energy-intensive processes?
• Reduce energy costs and consumption?
• Produce more sustainably by cutting CO2 emissions and saving energy?
• Optimize your grid connection usage?

Tailored solutions for the food industry

At ENERGYNEST, we understand that every factory in the food industry is unique. Each has its own layout and specific production processes.

That’s why ENERGYNEST offers customized solutions, adapting thermal energy storage systems to fit your production site perfectly. We deliver the flexibility, efficiency, and cost savings your business needs while addressing the demand for sustainable and reliable energy.

Our thermal energy storage systems are ideal for companies with:

• An annual heat consumption of over 5 GWh.
• A heat or steam demand with temperatures between 130°C and 350°C.
• Optional: renewable energy sources on-site or nearby, such as a solar park (PV), concentrated solar power (CST), or wind energy, enabling off-grid solutions.

A real-world success story: Flexible electrification for a large food factory

A large food factory with an annual heat demand of 100 GWh faced the challenge of reducing its reliance on natural gas and making its production processes more sustainable. The company required 210°C steam at 20 bar for batch processes like cleaning and peeling, with a fluctuating demand ranging from 0 to 20 MWth.

The original plan—an 8 MW electric heater, an 8 MW steam generator, and a 32 MW thermal storage system—only achieved 25% electrification and CO2 reduction.

With our advice and system optimization using our ThermalBattery™, we delivered a more efficient and cost-effective design. The new setup offered the same storage capacity, achieved 50% electrification, doubled CO2 reduction, reduced costs, and provided greater flexibility.

Additionally, their thermal storage system will cut grid costs, enable flexible charging during low-cost electricity hours, and contribute to grid stability. In short: cost savings, sustainability, and a stable energy future.

Electrification? It’s possible—and it pays off.

We keep companies in the food industry competitive without fossil fuels while realizing their sustainability ambitions. Contact us today for a solution tailored to your business needs.
