Building on the success of the pioneering Molten Salts Storage (MOSS) project in Denmark, this latest collaboration aims to optimize and commercialize the solution. The innovative technology uses molten salt to store energy from renewables to deliver green heat for industrial processes, supporting decarbonization and the global energy transition.
Both companies collaborated in the project consortium for the MOSS demonstrator plant, which was inaugurated in April 2024. The plant validated the concept of storing renewable energy in molten salt at temperatures up to 600°C. As a competitive, green and reliable solution for industrial heat electrification, Sulzer and Hyme Energy are now partnering to advance the technology and bring it to the market.
“We’re working with Hyme Energy to optimize the technology, improve the competitiveness of the solution and establish a strong supply chain,” explained Benoît Martin, Advanced Engineering Manager at Sulzer. “Sulzer’s vertical turbine pumps play a critical role in moving the molten salt within the system, and we are focused on achieving material and technical advancements to extend service life, boost performance and add value.”
Emil Løvschall-Jensen, CEO and co-founder of Hyme Energy, said: “Our technology is designed to integrate with existing infrastructure, making adoption easier for industries looking to transition to sustainable energy. For us at Hyme, it is key to work with established partners like Sulzer. By combining our strengths, we can accelerate progress and bring this solution to market faster.”
