Exergy3

Exergy3 is a spin-out of the University of Edinburgh that has developed an innovative ultra-high temperature thermal energy storage technology that is a game-changer in the journey to net zero.  Taking green electricity from the grid or a renewable energy source, our system converts it into thermal energy and stores it at ultra-high temperatures of up to 1200 °C. This energy is then discharged as hot gas to power thermal processes between 80-1000 °C.  Our technology can easily decarbonise a range of sectors, from industrial processes to the heating of large-scale buildings. Funded by the UK Government’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, we are currently delivering our demonstrator project at Annandale Distillery to enable the first-ever production of low-carbon whisky.
