Acceleware’s ‘EM Powered Heat’ solutions can significantly reduce energy consumption while electrifying large industrial process heat applications.
EM Powered Heat solutions are built around its innovative, patented electromagnetic (EM) technology platform, and have the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional fossil based heat systems, offering real potential operation cost savings. EM Powered Heat is not simply a bolt-on emissions abatement technology.
It can economically eliminate Scope 1 emissions in two ways: 1) by reducing energy use, and 2) by electrifying the reduced energy demand. It can also eliminate Scope 2 emissions by operating on renewable power.
How is EM Powered Heat different?

Electrified Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ETS) is decarbonizing industry with new electric heating and storage technologies. Our flagship product, the Joule Hive™ thermal battery, turns intermittent renewable electricity into constant industrial-grade heat. It is a stack of electrically conductive firebricks in an insulated container, which may be installed on-site as a drop-in replacement to fossil fuels in even the hottest industries. The system charges by running electricity directly through the bricks to joule-heat them, circumventing the operating limits of today’s electric heaters. The same bricks store thermal energy up to 1800+oC with minimal thermal loss for hours or days until needed. Discharging the system simply involves running air or another gas through the brick channels to provide constant, high-temperature heat to any furnace, boiler, turbine, or kiln.
