Waste Heat Hub: Mobile industrial heat distribution
Investor-grade thermal logistics: capture low-cost industrial heat, store and move it with HTTES, and deliver dispatchable energy where clients pay industrial tariffs.
- Low CAPEX
- Scalable
- High ROI

Financial projections
Management sketch — subject to diligence and structuring
| Phase | Years | MWh | Revenue | EBITDA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot | 1–2 | 7.9k | €712k | €393k |
| Regional | 3–5 | 40k | €3.6M | €2.1M |
| National | 5–10 | 100k | €9M | €5M |
| EU | 10–15 | 300k | €27M | €15M |
ESG impact
~50k tCO₂ / yr avoided
EU Taxonomy-eligible activities where criteria are met. Circular economy model: waste heat becomes a dispatchable product rather than an emission.
Roadmap
2025–27
Pilot
Prove logistics, contracts, and HTTES round-trips at industrial sites.
2028–30
National scale
Fleet expansion across domestic corridors; repeat HSE playbook.
2031–35
EU expansion
Cross-border thermal corridors and multi-hub dispatch.
Risk mitigation
Heat source
Long-term offtake and supply agreements with anchor industrial emitters.
Clients
Diversified customer mix across municipalities, industry, and commercial heat users.
Logistics
Local partners for permitting, heavy transport, and last-mile site integration.
