Kraftblock, a scale-up based in Saarland (Germany), has developed and optimized a high-temperature thermal storage system using FEM, CFD, and DEM simulations. Now, digital twins are set to ensure its smooth and transparent operation and enable new business models.
Kraftblock started small. Very small. That’s because chemist Martin Schichtel, who earned his Ph.D. at the Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken (Germany), was conducting research at the nanoscale on the storage material used in Kraftblock’s high-temperature heat storage systems. Together with economist Dr. Susanne König, he founded the company Kraftblock in 2014. Their mission: to advance the decarbonization of industry through the innovative, efficient, and affordable provision of process heat derived primarily from renewable energy sources.
