Hyme Energy has partnered with Arla Foods to develop the largest industrial thermal storage project. This innovative system will be implemented at Arla’s milk powder plant in Holstebro, Denmark, and aims to reduce CO₂ emissions in industrial heat production, a crucial step in industrial decarbonisation.
The thermal storage project
Hyme Energy ‘s advanced technology is based on the use of molten salt as a heat storage medium. This project converts electricity from renewable sources such as solar and wind energy into heat that is stored at temperatures above 500 °C.
The stored thermal energy can be used to replace fossil fuels in industrial production, enabling a reduction of up to 100% in CO₂ emissions from the heat process at the Arla plant .
By enabling energy-intensive industries such as food and beverage to adopt clean, renewable energy, the proposed thermal storage system offers substantial cost savings.
The company is developing a solution that can be replicated across a range of industries that rely on high-temperature heat for their processes. Hyme ’s robust thermal energy storage technology offers a sustainable and attractive alternative for industries looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
Furthermore, Arla Foods, as part of its commitment to sustainability, has set a goal: to reduce its CO₂ emissions by 63% by 2030. This project with Hyme Energy is important to achieve this goal, with potential expansion aimed at other plants within its global network. Arla Executive Vice President of Supply Chain, David Boulanger, mentioned that the move towards clean production is possible thanks to partnerships with innovative companies such as Hyme Energy.
