A worldwide shift to renewables requires a global storage capacity of more than 15,000 TWh in 2050!!! Kraft Block is taking this problem and ran with it. They figured that Industrial Waste Heat is also a type of renewable energy. However, it is currently released into the atmosphere unused for the most part, or sometimes even cooled down at great expense. Kraftblock's storage solutions make waste heat directly usable in the industry and enable the efficient storage of renewable energy. Additionally, unlike wind and solar energy, waste heat can be calculated and controlled and is already available! In Germany alone, the calculated unused potential energy from waste heat is 280 TWh per year. Globally, that number is a lot higher.

In this Episode we dive in first into this technology and figure out how they made all this possible with their CEO and Founder Martin Schichtel.
