Renewable energy jobs at Kraftblock

One of Kraftblock's most notable projects is the thermal energy storage system at Tata Steel in Jamshedpur, India. A pilot project was implemented at Sinter Plant 3, operational since May 2025, recognized as the first industrial high-temperature storage project in the steel sector (source: kraftblock.com). The system stores waste heat from the sintering process and uses it to heat process water, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and saving approximately 22,000 tons of CO2 annually (source: tatasteel.com). The facility has a storage capacity of 20 MWh and can save about 110 GWh of gas per year (source: kraftblock.com). Additionally, the project was awarded the "Deployed Solution of the Year" in December 2025 as part of Tata Steel's Total Quality Management Program (source: kraftblock.com). Another significant project is the FlexKWK initiative launched in 2023, where Kraftblock, together with Iqony Solutions GmbH, Steinmüller Engineering GmbH, and the University of Duisburg-Essen, is researching the integration of high-temperature storage in heating and power plant applications (source: iqony.energy). Furthermore, a feasibility study was conducted in Australia with AGL and ARENA to explore the use of Kraftblock systems for steam generation for a 200 MW turbine in a gas power plant (source: kraftblock.com).

Over the past two years, the focus has been primarily on the successful operation of the Tata Steel pilot project, recognized as the first industrial high-temperature storage project in the steel sector, which celebrated its one-year anniversary in February 2026 (source: tatasteel.com). This project also received a prestigious award from Tata Steel and serves as proof of the commercial viability of high-temperature storage in the steel industry (source: kraftblock.com). Kraftblock has intensified its public communications and is increasingly positioning itself as a pioneer in the decarbonization of industrial heat processes (source: kraftblock.com).
