Sukrija Kačar

Lead energy technology developer & inventor

Sukrija Kačar is an energy technology developer with more than 26 years of experience across energy systems, electric heating, and efficient energy conversion. His work focuses on next-generation heat conversion and storage that accelerate the shift to low-carbon heat infrastructure—with proprietary know-how and IP positioned for industrial deployment.

Proprietary technology & know-how26+ years intensive R&DInternational filings (EP/US)

We design for operating reality—efficiency, safety, and multi-decade envelopes—not slideware.

Recognised innovation pathways

His track record includes advanced solutions for electricity-to-heat conversion and heating architectures aligned with modern energy systems and smart buildings.

This includes the Ecocell ionic heating system—direct electrical-to-heat conversion emphasising efficiency, safety, and low emissions—which received special recognition for the best start-up project innovation at the 8th Slovenian Innovation Forum, a flagship national technology event.

Ecocell is engineered as an advanced electric ionic heating platform for rapid heat production, high energetic performance, and integration into smart buildings and contemporary heat networks.

Inventor credibility — patents, awards, R&D depth

Technology development is supported by internationally filed patent applications with European and US patent authorities, alongside deliberate protection of critical implementation know-how.

Advanced electric heating systems
Innovative electricity-to-heat conversion concepts
Energy-efficient heating technology architectures
New approaches to thermal energy management

More than two decades of intensive R&D underpin the pathway from laboratory insight to systems engineered for demanding operational environments.

From innovation to industrial thermal systems

Current development centres on advanced heat storage and management that unlock industrial waste heat, long-duration buffering, and contracted delivery—including hybrid HTTES + TCES pathways and advanced thermochemical energy concepts.

High-grade capture of industrial waste heat
Long-duration and seasonal thermal storage
Stable supply aligned with district heating infrastructure
Heat-as-a-Service go-to-market structuring

Vision: circular, dispatchable heat

The objective is next-generation energy technology that recycles waste energy, buffers seasonally, and delivers stable low-carbon heat as a product—not an emission.

Recycle and valorise waste energy streams
Seasonal heat storage for demand alignment
Stable, low-carbon heat system operation
New distribution models for thermal energy

The aim is cleaner, more efficient, circular heat infrastructure—consistent with WasteHeatHub™ as the waste heat recovery platform connecting capture, storage, and delivery.

Investor-grade framing (pitch decks & EU programmes)Expand

For diligence and grant narratives, lead with the decarbonisation of industrial heat and networks: structural demand, tightening emissions rules, and the shift from capex-heavy ownership to outcome-based Heat-as-a-Service. Stress differentiated IP (filings + know-how), evidence from pilots where available, and a capital path from contained deployments to fleet scale. Quantify market size and savings only with defensible sources or project-specific engineering; otherwise keep claims qualitative. Anchor recurring revenue to service contracts and highlight strategic value for utilities, municipalities, and industrial anchors that need predictable low-carbon heat.
