ABOUT US

Exergy3 is a Scottish cleantech company developing and commercialising a high-temperature Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system for industrial decarbonisation. Our technology converts surplus electricity into stored heat, delivered as process steam or hot air directly into industrial plant, displacing natural gas and reducing industrial carbon emissions without requiring customers to redesign their processes.

More than 50% of global CO₂ emissions arise from industrial heat processes. Exergy3 provides a reliable, cost-effective and scalable solution: one that enables industry to decarbonise without compromising operational performance.

Having recently secured investment, Exergy3 is transitioning from technology development to commercial deployment. We aim to deliver a commercially-ready product, establish the partner and supplier ecosystem required to scale delivery.
