Thermal Storage. Engineered for Industrial Duty.

Turning common salt into reliable industrial heat up to 800°C.

Aed Energy's thermal batteries convert low-cost electricity into high-temperature heat, store it in a proprietary salt-based composite, and deliver it on demand.

Built from abundant, low-cost materials and standard industrial components, our modular systems provide a scalable, cost-competitive alternative to coal and gas for industrial process heat.

The same technology platform also supports long-duration electricity storage and combined heat and power (CHP), extending its applications across industry and energy infrastructure.

Thermal Storage. Engineered for Industrial Duty.

Turning common salt into reliable industrial heat up to 800°C.

Aed Energy converts low-cost electricity into high-temperature heat, storing it in a proprietary salt-based composite for delivery on demand. Built around abundant materials and standard industrial components, our modular systems provide a cost-competitive alternative to fossil-fuel heating, with configurations for electricity storage and combined heat and power.

Integration with existing plant

Two routes to the same process heat. AE-10H displaces fossil combustion at the same integration point, core process unchanged.

AE-10H supplies high-temperature heat alongside existing fossil-fuel systems, enabling phased integration without compromising process continuity.
