Our Commercial Manager, Dr Jason Chaffey and Chief Technology Officer, Dr Mahesh Venkataraman recently returned from a trip to India where they showcased our energy storage capabilities to a select group of potential business partners. 

Meeting with multinational service providers and a smaller industrial services provider, the two learned more about India’s energy market, industrial processes and the drivers for uptake of clean-energy and heat solutions. 

In contrast to some other nations, uptake of these solutions is driven purely by economics, but the Indian government is increasingly installing renewables. 

There are no industrial gas users in India (unlike the Australian market), with thermal generators – primarily coal-fired power plants – meeting requirements. 

These thermal generators cannot respond quickly to control signals to change their output, and 1414 Degrees thermal energy storage solutions may provide a way to address fluctuating needs. 

The trip resulted in the identification of multiple potential applications for 1414 Degrees technology – with the company and other parties agreeing to share additional information to determine the compatibility of our solutions, with specific customer requirements. 

Discussions also indicated we have significant potential to establish partnerships with companies in India to licence our solutions.  

In-market connections with respected industrial service providers are important, as the Indian market is known for its strong pull-through, meaning: if one company adopts a technology, and it proves economical, then adoption will be rapid. 

We look forward to continuing these relationships, to help implement our technologies in industries around the world. 

On this day, 1414 Degrees Ltd convened its Annual General Meeting (AGM), marking a pivotal moment in the company’s journey toward revolutionising industrial energy solutions. Executive Chairman, Dr Kevin Moriarty, delivered a comprehensive address highlighting the company’s transformative progress over the past year.

1414 Degrees is committed to advancing its technologies and expanding its market presence. The company aims to collaborate with industry partners to accelerate the adoption of its innovative energy solutions, contributing to a more sustainable and decarbonised industrial sector.

An excerpt from Dr Kevin Moriarty’s 2024 Chairman’s Address:

Progress with SiBox and SiBrick technologies

A highlight of the year has been our continued success with the SiBox® system. The SiBox Demonstration Module completed rigorous testing, consistently delivering high-temperature heat at up to 900°C, powered by intermittent renewable energy. To our knowledge these are the only results of this kind. Its ability to charge and discharge independently offers a solution for industries wanting a stable and clean energy supply, without relying on fossil fuels. We also made progress in our efforts to undertake large-scale production of SiBrick®, our thermal storage media, and the core of SiBox, in order to deliver a modular, cost-effective energy storage solution that meets the decarbonisation needs of manufacturers.

Innovations in low-emission hydrogen with SiPHyR

The development of SiPHyR™—our hydrogen production technology—marks a vital step in our commitment to industrial decarbonisation. Our industry engagement confirms the strategic role SiPHyR technology can play in supporting hard-to-decarbonise industries. SiPHyR integrates our thermal storage with methane pyrolysis to produce hydrogen and solid carbon using intermittent electricity. This approach leverages existing natural gas infrastructure, significantly lowering electricity requirements compared to hydrogen produced through electrolysis. We’re grateful to be supported by a $2.5 million Australian Government CRC-P grant and we’re proud to have formalised our partnership with Woodside Energy, the University of Adelaide, Kanthal and RMIT, to bring this cost-effective and efficient solution to life.
