We are delighted to be among the first recipients of funding provided through the South Australian Government’s Renewable Technology Fund. We applaud the commitment by our state to delivering world-leading energy storage solutions to consumers, and look forward to commencing work immediately.
This grant is a significant milestone for 1414 Degrees, enabling us to advance our innovative thermal energy storage technology. By harnessing the high latent heat capacity of silicon, our SiBox® system offers a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources, particularly in high-temperature industrial applications. The funding will support the development and demonstration of our SiBox® technology, showcasing its potential to store renewable energy efficiently and provide reliable, decarbonised heat for industries such as cement, steel, and alumina production. This aligns with our mission to decarbonise industrial heat processes and contribute to a more sustainable energy future. We are committed to collaborating with industry partners and stakeholders to accelerate the adoption of our technology, furthering South Australia’s position as a leader in renewable energy innovation.
From RenewEconomy 29 November:
South Australia has announced the first winners of its “next wave” energy storage tender, with four different projects to get a total of $8 million funding through the $150 million Renewable Technology Fund.
The projects include lithium ion battery storage, flow batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and thermal storage, and will be built in a range of facilities from remote mines to manufacturing plants and distribution centres.
The announcement comes ahead of the formal opening on Friday of the Tesla big battery at the Hornsdale wind farm, a 100MW/129MWh facility which has been partially funded through the RTF, established as part of the state government’s response to the blackout last September.
South Australia is fast establishing itself as a global leader in renewable energy innovation, and 1414 Degrees is proud to be contributing to this bold transformation.
1414 Degrees will advance development of its thermal energy storage system, unlocking high-temperature, long-duration storage capabilities critical to the future of dispatchable renewable power.
