Industry uses
Which industries will benefit from our technology?
Industries reliant on high-temperature process heat are the target market for our thermal energy storage technology.
The minerals processing and manufacturing industries, including the enormous cement, alumina and steel sectors are especially reliant on high-temperature process heat above 800◦C.
Long duration energy storage can also help stabilise the energy grid and high-temperature process heat can be used to produce hydrogen.
Priority markets
Organisations seeking to decarbonise their operations and with net zero ambitions are the focus of our efforts.
We know our technology could help significantly reduce emissions while also helping to cut operational costs across a number of industries.
Working with proprietary data from industry, analysts have determined the impacts SiBox energy storage solution, could have on operations.
Alumina Processing
Integration into steam raising, calcination thermal input and feedstock pre-heating.
Cement Production
Reduced process variation due to more precise temperature control.
Continuous 24/7 heat.
Grid Stabilisation
Long Duration Energy Storage for grid stabilisation.
Energy arbitrage, system strength FCAS provision, retrofit.
Hydrogen and Steel
Integration into hydrogen production to produce emission-free hydrogen for steelmaking, fertiliser production, or as a fuel.
How do we know there’s demand?
- Australian heavy industry is committed to identifying the right solutions to achieve net zero emissions (read the Collective Statement on Heavy Industry Supply Chain Transition to Net Zero Emissions)
- There are growing market opportunities in G7 countries as the G7 has an opportunity to accelerate the global transformation of heavy industry sectors (read the Executive summary – Achieving Net Zero Heavy Industry Sectors in G7 Members – Analysis – IEA)
- High gas prices and gas supply constraints also mean our technology is already competitive with fossil fuels (on a cost comparison basis) in some countries and will become increasingly so in the next 2 to 5 years. Read our summary analysis of proprietary industry data.
Industrial Heat-as-a-Service – our model aiming to decarbonise today
Industrial heat is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise, with most factories still dependent on fossil-fuel combustion for temperatures above 300°C.
Traditional electrification options cannot reach the required temperatures or are too costly to deploy at scale.
1414 Degrees is changing that.
Powered by our silicon-based thermal platform, Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) enables industrial facilities to switch to low-emission, high-temperature heat without capital expenditure, without operational complexity, and without production risk.
How our model works, to decarbonise today.
1414 Degrees owns, operates and maintains the SiBox heat system, while customers simply pay for the heat delivered – measured, reliable and cost-predictable.
This eliminates the financial and technical barriers that have slowed industrial decarbonisation for decades.
Why it matters to industry
- Heavy industry can decarbonise today, not in 2035.
- No infrastructure overhaul required. Just heat delivered on demand.
- Customers avoid upfront capital costs, supply risk and gas price volatility.
