Today, we’re proud to announce that Antora has been selected by ARPA-E for a $14.5M award to accelerate the launch of our combined heat and power thermal battery product. This funding unlocks commercial-scale manufacturing for Antora’s pioneering heat-to-power technology and paves the way for gigaton-scale decarbonization impact in the industrial sector. Over the past five years, Antora, supported by ARPA-E, has transformed thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology into a reliable, scalable, and simple solution to convert heat to electricity with no moving parts—a job historically handled by complex and costly turbomachinery. Having demonstrated breakthrough heat-to-electric conversion efficiency and opened the world’s first dedicated manufacturing line for TPV, Antora is on a path to rapidly bring our combined heat and power product to market. As part of the award, Antora will work to ensure that its combined heat and power product fully addresses the needs of industrial and utility customers. Antora will partner with Con Edison, the utility that serves New York City and Westchester County, to help meet its ambitious clean heat and power goals for New Yorkers. In addition, Antora has signed a letter of intent with Shell to evaluate potential opportunities to deploy the product in industrial processes such as chemicals production.

2moWith the advent of cheap Na-ion and LFP around 46$, and efficiency at 90%, heat batteries uses as Heat to Power with its efficiency of 40% cannot compete. So the only use can be heat battery. And knowing that main uses of heat are below 200°C, Heat pump (cascade) can do the job, coupled with batteries. The company’s technology has met two thresholds around efficiency and manufacturing at scale, it says – it has demonstrated heat-to-electricity conversion efficiencies higher than 40%, and earlier this year, set up a dedicated manufacturing line for thermophotovoltaic cells that is the first of its kind in the world. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/11/15/antora-energy-receives-4-million-grant-to-scale-thermophotovoltaic-technology/
