This battery company from MIT helps factories ditch fossil fuels for cheap renewable power

Electrified Thermal Solutions—a startup with MITEI ties—developed a new “thermal battery” capable of helping power the manufacturing of energy-intensive materials like steel and cement. “We’re talking about massive emissions reductions—to the tune of several gigatons per year of CO2—reduced through this transition,” said co-founder and CEO Daniel Stack SM ’17, PhD ’21, who, as a student, was a research associate on a MITEI-funded energy storage project.
