During this Barn Talk, we will take a closer look at salt batteries as a promising energy solution for the food industry. How can these systems contribute to a future in which industrial heat is generated in a sustainable, affordable and reliable manner?
The guest for this edition is Saltes, the company that won the Entrance Professional Award at the New Energy Forum 2025 for its groundbreaking development of a heat battery. This technology enables sustainable energy from the sun and wind to be stored in the form of heat.
Saltes shares its vision:
“The future of industrial heat is electric and flexible. Electrification of heat can lead to lower costs and greater energy independence for industry. The vast majority of industrial heat is still generated using fossil fuels, but these must be replaced by renewable technologies such as solar and wind energy. Molten salt systems play a crucial role in this: they make it possible to efficiently store local renewable energy and use it when production demands it. In this way, factories can become energy independent and contribute to a fossil-free industry.”
