MGA Thermal's electro-thermal energy storage system (ETES) stores surplus renewable energy as high-temperature heat, delivering industrial-grade steam to replace natural gas in continuous high-heat industries. Their 200 MW project at Tronox in Western Australia is the largest thermal energy storage project in Australia and aims to drive down costs and scale adoption globally.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Industrial heat users now have a cost-effective clean power option with thermal energy storage replacing gas boilers. You should engage with projects like Tronox to secure supply and bypass fossil fuel reliance before costs shift again.
