Entity Description
Alumina Energy is a developer of energy storage systems for distributed and utility heat and power generation. Using particle storage materials, our packed bed thermal energy storage (TES) products convert intermittent renewable energy resources into a fully dispatchable zero-carbon energy resource (heat and power) with lower cost than fossil fuels.

Technology Description
Alumina Energy has developed low-cost and long duration particle packed bed TES technology with flexibility to use several low-cost and high temperature stable particles storage materials (HEATER). Particle TES allows a large temperature difference increasing the energy density and lowering cost by deploying low-cost vertical silos enabling a small footprint and using cheap particle media. The system integrates with renewable resources (electric or thermal) to charge during the day (~8-hours) and discharge zero carbon energy (thermal or electric) over long durations (12-24 hours) suitable for industrial process heat (HEATER-IPH) or utility long duration energy storage (HEATER-LDES) with LEC under $100/MWh.
