Our storyOur story Our story
How it all started_
Brabetech stood at the cradle of the development, from lab to pilot system, of a new ternary molten salt as heat transfer and storage medium.
Brabetech was founded 5 years ago as a spin-off of an engineering firm focused on heat generation systems. This engineering firm has worked on the research and development of a new generation of ternary molten salts, demonstrating the technology at early technology readiness levels (TRL's). Brabetech continued this development by demonstrating key aspects of the technology in multiple systems commissioned worldwide. Starting 2023 Brabetech has announced the development of the ThermalPod® system, using molten salt technology for industrial electrification and energy storage.

The future of Heat_
Brabetech beliefs that to enable the energy transition the next big steps will be achieved by making industrial heat sustainable. Heat represents 55% of our energy demand, with industrial heating alone using 20% of all energy.
The vast majority of this heat is generated using fossil sources. These fossil energy generation technologies need to be replaced with renewable energy technologies such as solar electric, wind or solar thermal.
The massive developments in renewable energy technologies will allow for cheap energy at certain moments of the day. New technologies are needed to transfer and store this cheap energy to match its supply and demand. Molten salt systems are a part of the solution to enable the use of renewable energy sources in industrial processes.

Of all energy is used for industrial heat
