At the beginning of April 2022, we installed a thermal storage unit on the ArcelorMittal site in Dunkirk.

This transportable demonstrator will then be moved to other industrial sites in Hauts-de-France in order to validate different types of possible applications with a view to improving their energy efficiency and reducing their carbon impact:

• recovery of waste heat from industrial furnaces in metallurgy, ceramics, glass or chemistry
• material dryer for all types of industries
• preheating of material from all types of industries
• hot water production
• electricity production (ORC, Stirling engine, other…)
• recovery of heat from solar power plant
• other types of heat demand.
