What They Do
ENERGYNEST is a Norwegian company specializing in thermal energy storage technologies. The company's core technology, the **ThermalBattery™** systems, stores energy as heat in high-performance concrete blocks that are equipped with heat transfer fluids such as thermal oil. These systems enable scalable storage of up to 12 MWhth per unit and decouple energy production from consumption time, allowing for flexible delivery as process heat or steam (Source: wikipedia.org). ENERGYNEST targets energy-intensive industries looking to replace fossil fuels and offers modular, quickly installable units that can be connected to existing thermal oil infrastructures (Source: energy-nest.com). The company has positioned itself as a leader in the decarbonization of industrial processes, with a market potential of €300 billion by 2030 (Source: hamburg-business.com).
Projects & Track Record
Notable projects by ENERGYNEST include the pilot in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, conducted from 2015 to 2017, as well as the industrial project in Sicily, Italy, realized for Eni in 2019. In 2022, the first commercial ThermalBattery™ facility was commissioned at the site of YARA International in Norway, followed by the installation of a ThermalBattery™ in February 2023 at Avery Dennison in Belgium (Source: wikipedia.org). Currently, the company is working on a significant project in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, Germany, where the groundbreaking for the Leonhard Kurz initiative was laid on July 2, 2025. This includes an electric boiler with 3 MWe and a ThermalBattery™ with 12 MWhth, expected to be operational by mid-2026 (Source: energy-nest.com).
Recent Developments
In the past two years, ENERGYNEST has laid the groundwork for the Leonhard Kurz project in Germany, celebrated as a milestone for the electrification of industry (Source: energy-nest.com). In November 2022, the company was mentioned in discussions about technologies for the transition to renewable energy in the Financial Times, and in September 2023, it was referenced in connection with efforts for EU energy independence (Source: unreasonablegroup.com). The company has not reported any acquisitions or mergers since 2023; however, the €110 million investment from Infracapital in April 2021 contributed to commercialization (Source: hamburg-business.com).
