Second European Heatcube installation at KALL Ingredients nears completion
Oslo, Norway 31 October 2024 - Kyoto Group is thrilled to announce rapid progress on our second European Heatcube installation at KALL Ingredients in Hungary. This milestone brings us closer to decarbonizing industrial steam by delivering renewable thermal energy solutions and driving impactful change in how industries harness sustainable power.
A Strong Partnership Fueling Progress
The collaboration between KALL Ingredients and Kyoto Group is driving this Hungarian Heatcube project forward. This partnership exemplifies how industries can unite to achieve sustainability goals, accelerating progress and innovation towards a greener future.
Engineering Achievements and Structural Completeness
This Heatcube project has reached significant engineering milestones, with 95% of the engineering work now completed. The structural framework of Heatcube itself is now fully constructed, marking a pivotal point in the project’s development.
This achievement showcases our engineering team's meticulous planning and execution, reflecting our commitment to high-quality, reliable thermal energy storage solutions.
Installation of Key Components
We have successfully installed critical components, including the steam generator system (SGS), 8 molten salt tanks, drain tank, heaters, transformers, electrical house, pumps, panels and the battery management system.
Each of these components plays a vital role in ensuring the efficient operation of Heatcube, contributing to its ability to provide a constant flow of decarbonized steam. The installation of these key elements marks a significant leap forward in our mission to decarbonize industrial energy consumption.
Final Stages of Construction
As we approach the final stages of construction, progress remains strong. The medium voltage (MV) structure and the building for the MV switch gear have been completed. Additionally, work has begun on the heater and heat tracing panels, along with the pre-fabrication of the mechanical components. These developments are laying the groundwork for the next phase of the project.
Paving the Way for Renewable Thermal Energy
The milestones achieved in the KALL Ingredients Heatcube project bring us closer to our overarching mission of empowering industries with renewable thermal energy. By providing KALL Ingredients with a reliable and cost-effective source of decarbonized steam, we are demonstrating the viability and benefits of our Heatcube solution and Heat as a Service (HaaS) offering.
Each advancement in this project highlights the potential of renewable energy for industrial applications. Together, we are building a sustainable future, one milestone at a time.
