Making 24/7 renewables a reality through thermal energy storage.
About us
Empowering renewables through thermal energy storage. MGA Thermal’s mission is to revolutionise the world’s renewable energy systems by developing novel materials, designing innovative technologies and delivering thermal energy storage solutions. Our core technology is a newly invented type of thermal storage material, Miscibility Gap Alloys (MGA). These alloys can store a huge amount of energy as heat, in a safe and easy to use way. In our storage solutions, modular blocks of MGA are stacked into insulated storage tanks, which can store energy for use in a range of applications – improving the electrical grid’s stability, residential and commercial space heating, industrial process/waste heat, and even electric vehicles. Our first focus though, is enabling intermittent renewable energy sources such as the sun and wind, to provide base load electricity to the grid. Modular blocks of MGA are able to be stacked and scaled into thermal energy storage systems - storing hundreds to millions of kilowatt hours of energy.

Read the CSIRO ‘Where are they now’ to find out more about our story and how we are on track to make 27/4 renewables a reality. MGA technology was invented after nearly 10 years of research and development at the University of Newcastle by Co-Founder Erich Kisi and Senior MGA Researcher Engineer Heber Sugo. The co-founding team then went through the CSIRO ON programs, taking on the challenge of translating highly technical research into commercial applications. https://lnkd.in/gi46WX_t #ldes #startup #renewables #cleansteam

Power sectors globally are shifting away from fossil fuels; capturing renewable energy to power energy networks. For the first time, wind and solar have overtaken fossil fuel generation, providing 30% of the European Union’s electricity. A report from climate think tank Ember found EU power plants burned 24% less coal and 14% less gas from the first half of 2023 to the first half of 2024. We’re excited to see more renewable energy generation coming online globally, as well as growing investment in long duration energy storage; the solution to making clean energy dispatchable and on demand 24/7.

We’re pleased to share our feature in the Capital Brief: ‘This Aussies startup’s heat storage bricks pave a path for industrial decarbonisation’! The interview features our co-founder and CTO, Dr. Alexander Post explaining how the MGA material stores heat at up to 650 degrees Celsius, and its potential to decarbonise industrial settings, which account for a significant amount of global energy consumption.

MGA Thermal is increasingly seeing client application requests globally, including from India. It was a pleasure to host the Consul General of India Dr. Janakiraman Sarvesvaran and Irfan Malik (MAICD) of Australia India Business Council through the MGA facility this week and better understand the assistance they can provide, as we commercialise for the mutual benefit of India and Australia. We look forward to the emerging opportunity to work together to help the MGA tech decarbonise the industrial sector in India and make 24/7 renewable a reality. #cleansteam #ldes #energystorage #decarbonisation

Investment into the energy storage space has seen US$15.4 billion in funding deployed globally in just the first half of 2024, according to Mercom Capital. It’s pleasing to see funding in energy storage is growing, and even more so to see non-lithium and LDES technologies hit the Top Five VC funded deals for H1 2024. Investment in clean energy technology is surging and MGA Thermal is excited to lead the way in this new industrial renaissance. Both through our own scale-up of clean energy manufacturing as well as helping to decarbonise industrial manufacturing processes, making 24/7 renewables a reality. #cleansteam #renewables #energystorage #ldes https://lnkd.in/dSC3upRB
Corporate funding for energy storage more than doubles year-on-year in first half of 2024
