A Major Step for Hyme Energy: Collaboration Paves the Way for Massive CO2 Reductions in Industry 🌍   At Hyme Energy, we’re taking a bold leap forward in the journey towards industrial decarbonization. Collaborating with Arla Foods, one of the world’s leading dairy companies, we’re setting the stage for the largest industrial thermal energy storage plant in the world — a 200 MWh system with the potential to revolutionize how industries transition to sustainable heat. This groundbreaking project focuses on Arla’s milk powder facility in Holstebro, Denmark, targeting cost-effective, large-scale CO2 reductions in industrial heat production.   Why This Matters: 🔥 Up to 100% CO2 reduction: Hyme's solution can eliminate fossil fuels for process heat, delivering carbon-free energy. 💡 Tangible economic benefits: Up to €3 million in annual energy savings with potential for additional revenue from grid services. 🌟 A scalable, global model: The project is more than one facility — it’s a blueprint for decarbonizing energy-intensive industries worldwide.   “This project could be a game-changer for industrial decarbonization,” says Nis Benn, Chief Commercial Officer at Hyme Energy. “It proves that cutting CO2 emissions on an industrial scale isn’t just possible — it’s also financially compelling. And it’s just the beginning.”   Once EU funding is secured, we’ll finalize the foundation to make this transformative project a reality.   Read the press release in the link below 👇   #energystorage #innovation #decarbonization #thermalenergystorage #LDES #TES #industrialdecarbonization
