Heliac er klar til et travlt efterår
Energivirksomheden Heliac i Nivå kan omdanne solens stråler til procesvarme eller fjernvarme. Virksomhedens ingeniører har også opfundet en metode til at lagre energi ved høje temperaturer i et stenlager, et såkaldt RockStore.
Heliac vil revolutionere fjernvarmemarkedet i Danmark
I oktober 2022 så et helt nyt forsyningsselskab dagens lys i Danmark. Nemlig Forsyning Danmark, der er stiftet og ejet af sol- og energiproducenten Heliac, der producerer solfangere af plast.
Heliac har kunder i scope: – Champagnepropperne kan springe når som helst
Heliac, der blandt andet ejes af plastvirksomheden Inmold og baserer en del af sin teknologi på plastfilm og silikone – har med investeringsfonde i ryggen på få år etableret to betydningsfulde solfangeranlæg, et fjernvarmeselskab og taget patent på teknologi til at lagre varme i sten.
An Opportunity As Big As Electricity & Transportation Combined

Cost of Heat
So far, the only available methods for large-scale sustainable production of heat at sufficiently high temperatures come at costs 2-3 times the fossil-fired alternatives.
Generation
Higher temperatures give more potential use cases, reduce the volumes needed to process or store the heat, and increase efficiency of several processes including conversion efficiencies of turbines turning heat into electricity.
Storage
The ability to store excess energy is key in transitioning from a fossil-powered energy system to a system built on sustainable methods of energy generation. This article is a call-out to all the inventive minds and resourceful investors out there. There should many opportunities in this space over the next many years.
Integration
Taking advantage of the relatively low costs of long-duration heat storage is one way to further increase renewables share of the energy market.
Credibility
The same sustainable solution, sold at the same price to the same customer delivering the same performance for the same purpose in the same place, produces energy at costs somewhere between 50 and 200% the price of natural gas.
Electricity is just one part of the puzzle
You are in the same boat as possibly most other people – but nevertheless wrong – if you think the world will become a clean, carbon emission free place as soon as most energy demanding processes have been electrified and powered by solar cells and wind turbines.
