Glacies is specialized in seasonal thermal storage: meaning using the passage of seasons (winter-summer) to store heat using the phase change properties of water. We are currently focusing on the mining industry (underground mines) where we propose units capable of heating in the range of ten of megawatts of heat with a very small input of electrical energy. We are replacing gas burners generating more than 20% of the mines GHG. Our system is reversible, meaning we can use the ice produced during winter (with our heating process) for cooling during summer. Thus, we can heat the air entering the mine during winter and cool it during summer at a low energetic cost, thanks to seasonal thermal storage.
