Why This Event Matters
🔋 INNOVATION IN ENERGY STORAGE & CLEAN HEAT
MGTES addresses one of the hardest challenges in energy transition: replacing fossil fuels used in industrial heat processes. By converting renewable electricity into dispatchable thermal energy, it delivers clean steam on demand—essential for sectors where electrifying heat has been elusive.
🌍 A SCALABLE, CIRCULAR SOLUTION
Using abundant, circular materials like sand and steel, MGTES is safe, cost-effective, and fully circualr at end-of-life.
🏭 FROM PILOT TO INDUSTRY
This plant moves MGTES from pilot scale to real-world application, proving its readiness for large-scale deployment in energy-intensive sectors.
About the MGTES Technology
Magaldi Green Thermal Energy Storage (MGTES) is a patented thermal energy storage solution based on a fluidized bed of sand. It stores electricity – sourced from renewables or the grid - in the form of high-temperature heat and releases it on demand as clean steam.
Designed to replace fossil fuels used in industrial heat generation, MGTES helps decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as food & beverage, pulp & paper, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, mining, etc..
This first industrial-scale plant proves the technology's maturity, scalability, and its potential in the path to net zero.
