Antora Energy delivers zero-emissions industrial heat to predictably and profitably decarbonize industrial operations. Factory-built in the United States, Antora’s thermal batteries convert low-cost, intermittent renewable electricity into reliable process heat, substantially lowering CI scores and future-proofing energy costs. Antora is actively working with ethanol facilities across the U.S. to decarbonize their process heat and electricity using local wind power. To learn more, visit antoraenergy.com.
“Process heat is one of the biggest contributors to ethanol CI, but until recently electrifying this heat has simply been cost-prohibitive,” shared Ben Samways, Director of Project Development at Antora Energy. “Antora soaks up the cheapest hours of clean energy generation to deliver cost-effective, zero-emissions process heat—all without interrupting your production or changing your process.”
