尖端研究与设计试点煅烧设备Heliogen推进可持续能源存储技术,人工智能使聚光太阳能能源技术的领先供应商,和NantG权力,LLC的一个高级电池和制造业公司开发一个全新的方法来设计和制造电池,宣布了一项工程服务协议利用Heliogen核心知识产权开发试点太阳能热煅烧装置。“Heliogen作为早期投资者,我们清楚地看到新颖的太阳热能技术的变革价值”根据协议,Heliogen,通过其全资子公司,Heliogen控股公司,将提供前端概念设计服务和研发(研发)工程服务,铺平了道路NantG购买商业规模煅烧装置。这个最初的合同包括的范围实地测试Heliogen在兰开斯特的示范性设施,CA, technoeconomic模型的发展未来的商业设施,新飞行员煅烧和初步的工程服务设施。这个初始的工作将作为基础为未来部署商业规模煅烧设备。NantG电力预计这类过程改进的影响将在电池材料供应链转型,使公司能制造阳极和阴极活性材料接近国内矿业网站。此外,合作预计将限制所需的基础设施升级,包括电力生产和传输,同时避免运输未经提炼的原料材料的横跨大西洋和太平洋,导致煅烧的供应链更环保。“Heliogen作为早期投资者,我们清楚地看到新颖的太阳热能技术的变革的价值,”博士说陈颂雄夫妇,NantG电力董事长。“我们非常有信心在Heliogen的增长和能力在当前的管理团队,由克里斯蒂Obiaya成功执行其战略计划并为所有利益相关者提供价值。我们的合同与Heliogen不仅重申这种信心,但也强调了可持续增长的市场需求,清洁能源存储选择的NantG电力发展。利用集中阳光的力量,Heliogen解决方案可以取代化石燃料的必要性和减少碳足迹的行业,如陶瓷粉末制造,依靠煅烧。 In addition to the materials processing benefits of reducing carbon emissions, we believe the process will be more profitable and economically impactful by creating more technical jobs, have higher throughput manufacturing and the ability to produce materials domestically.” As part of the agreement, which was executed in March, Heliogen will be compensated by NantG on a time and materials basis. “We are excited to begin this collaboration with NantG Power, which demonstrates the market attractiveness of Heliogen’s concentrating solar thermal technology for carbon-intensive industries that use calcination processes, such as cement and lithium extraction,” said Christie Obiaya , Chief Executive Officer of Heliogen, Inc. “Importantly, this relationship enables us to effectively fund certain R&D activities without compromising our cost reduction initiative. By maintaining an externally funded, separate resource pool for this project, we ensure that our commercial team remains focused on the successful deployment of our highest technical readiness product—our commercial-scale steam unit. This balance between innovation and commercialization is essential to driving sustainable growth for Heliogen and delivering groundbreaking clean energy solutions to our partners and customers.” Heliogen’s innovative solar technologies have the potential to disrupt traditional calcination processes and bring about a more sustainable future. Heliogen previously announced a $4.1 million award granted from the Department of Energy for R&D into pathways for commercial implementation of a solar thermal calciner.
