This week we spoke to Antora Energy, a thermal battery company which is currently building a world-first thermal energy storage system featuring thermophotovoltaic cells. Antora will buy excess renewable electricity from the grid to store it as heat in graphite blocks. This energy can be converted back to electricity via thermophotovoltaic solar cells, or
The funding follows some significant milestones achieved by Antora since the company announced its Series A funding in 2022. Over the past year, Antora introduced its commercial-scale thermal battery, a factory-built system that stores energy at temperatures hot enough to address "hard-to-decarbonize" sectors, such as cement and steel.
Thermal battery maker Antora Energy on Thursday said it has raised $150 million in a funding round led by a tie-up between the world''s biggest asset manager BlackRock and Singapore state
Today, we''re proud to announce that Antora has been selected by ARPA-E for a $14.5M award to accelerate the launch of our combined heat and power thermal battery product. This funding unlocks
David Roberts. Back in March, I did a podcast on the possibility of using wind and solar electricity to decarbonize industrial heat, which represents fully a quarter of all human final energy consumption.The trick is to transform the variable energy from wind and solar into a steady, predictable stream of heat by using some form of heat battery.
Antora Energy, a company seeking to decarbonize industrial heat and power, announced it raised $150 million in a Series B funding round. The round was led by Decarbonization Partners, a partnership between Blackrock and Temasek. The funds are expected to help Antora ramp up production of its factory-made thermal batteries.

Antora's thermal battery turns cheap, clean energy into the standard that powers global industry. Charges with surplus clean electricity to deliver cost-effective, zero-emission energy at a predictable price. Multi-day storage delivers always-on heat and power for industrial operations where downtime is not an option.
Antora Energy is building a low-cost thermal battery for grid-scale energy storageto meet the growing need for long-duration storage created by the global transition to renewables. Most chemical battery technologies, such as lithium-ion, can only store enough energy for a few hours of power. Antora’s technology, however, can discharge for days.
Antora’s energy storage technology, now in prototype form, is a “heat battery.” It stores energy very cheaply in the form of carbon blocks, which are insulated to retain their high temperatures, up to 2,000 degrees Celsius. A special type of solar cell that can convert heat to electricity is used to draw off the power when needed.
Antora’s thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology converts light from the hot carbon blocks into electricity with no moving parts. This enables output of both electricity and heat at industrial scale. Antora’s factory-made thermal batteries flexibly scale to match the energy needs of any industrial facility.
