At Eco-Tech Ceram, we’ve always held a simple belief:
Industry can be competitive, resilient and low-carbon.
Today, this vision takes a new step forward with the raising of 16 million euros alongside Crédit Mutuel Impact (via the Fonds Révolution Environnementale et Solidaire) and Bpifrance (via the PSIM program as part of France 2030).
This funding will enable us to change scale to meet a central challenge of our century: heat in industry. Here’s what that means in concrete terms.
The challenge: 300 TWh of heat, still largely fossil fuels
Every year, French industry consumes almost 300 TWh of heatthe vast majority of which comes from fossil fuels, often imported.
This dependence represents a triple fragility:
- Economicto cope with volatile gas prices,
- GeopoliticsThe Group is ready to face up to the tensions on the energy markets,
- Environmentalin the face of Europe’s and France’s climate objectives.
And yet, alternatives do exist. Accessible, efficient, cost-effective.
Our solution: a systems approach to process heat
Since our creation, we have developed and industrialized a complete range of complete range of technological solutions to meet these challenges. These solutions are based on three levers:
1. Energy audit and optimization (RGE1717 / PACTE)
The first essential step is to understand precisely where and how energy is consumed.
We support manufacturers in the implementation of intelligent intelligent settings, process modernizationand data-driven optimization.
2. Waste heat recovery (Eco-Stock® – patented)
Every industrial site loses a significant proportion of its heat to the environment.
Thanks to our high-temperature high-temperature thermal storagewe capture, store and release this heat back into the process. The result: fewer losses, less gas purchases, lower emissions.
3. Intelligent electrification (Power-to-Heat – patented)
For sites with access to low-carbon electricity sources or off-peak hours, we offer efficient conversion of electricity into high-temperature heat. This is an essential building block for integrate renewable energies and accelerate the phase-out of gas.
A CAPEX-free business model, at €25/MWh
Our solutions can be delivered turnkeyor via our third-party financing model. This means our customers can start saving from day one, with no initial investment.
And all this with controlled cost of heatstarting at 25 €/MWhfixed over the long term. A real breakthrough in a context of unstable energy prices.
Reference industrial customers already on board
We’re not just starting out.
Groups such as ArcelorMittal, Wienerberger, Villeroy & Boch, ThyssenKrupp or even Céramique & Développement have already placed their trust in our technologies.
The results are in:
- Up to 10% overall energy savings,
- Some hundreds of tonnes of CO₂ avoided every year,
- Measured improvement in operational resilience.
What we’re going to do with the 16 million euros
This fundraising is a strategic strategic gas pedal. It will allow us to :
- Strengthen our industrial production capacitiesto equip more sites, faster.
- Continuously improve our solutionsby integrating customer feedback and innovations from our digital R&D subsidiary Noria.
- Deploy our sales team in new European territories.
- Supporting more industrial sitesin third-party financing, with zero risk for them.
A collective adventure rooted in research and the local community
Eco-Tech Ceram was founded in Toulouse in 2014.
We have grown thanks to committed institutional partners such as ADEME, the Occitanie Region, CNRS, France 2030 and the European Commission (IFSC).
It’s this ecosystem that we’re relying on to scale up.
We would also like to thank our employees – engineers, researchers, project managers – who support this ambition with dedication and passion.
A clear ambition: to become world leader in heat storage by 2030
We don’t do this lift to exist.
We do it to structurally transform one of the industry’s of industry: heat.
By 2030, our ambition is clear:
➡️ To be the world leader in high-temperature thermal storage solutions,
➡️ Helping to decarbonize several tens of TWh in Europe,
➡️ And proved that a French SME can play a structuring role in the transition.
Thank you for your confidence
Thank you to our partners, customers, investors and employees.
Together, we’re transforming the industry.
Together, we’re changing the scale.
