Part 6/8:
Rondo is not operating in isolation; nearly 30 companies, including Antora Energy and Fourth Power, are also venturing into the thermal battery space. Antora Energy focuses on carbon-based block storage and the conversion of this heat into electricity. Meanwhile, Fourth Power harnesses superheated graphite combined with advanced cells to create clean power from stored heat.
The rapid growth within this sector is driven by increasing demand from industries that recognize thermal batteries as crucial to meeting sustainability targets. Companies like Eastman Chemical have begun integrating thermal batteries into their operations, emphasizing their potential for lowering greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining production efficiency.
