Our take
The majority of businesses are enthusiastic to switch from fossil fuels to the sustainability of zero-carbon energy, but making the switch is not easy. Installing sustainable energy infrastructure into an industrial facility can be expensive, unreliable, and even dangerous, and such negative experiences make financial risks outweigh the potential benefits.
Antora Energy provides zero-carbon industrial heat and power, leveraging a thermal energy storage system to guarantee 100% uptime and heightened affordability. The company provides its technology in a modular format to facilitate its use at any business scale, whilst also designing it to have no thermal runaway or materials that present fire hazards.
The company shows great promise to tackle the problem surrounding industrial energy, and is supported by investors such as Bill Gates and Chris Sacca. Antora Energy have recently raised impressive funding and will be investing this into building out their first customer-sited projects and accelerate hiring.
