Business Analyst 

Kyoto’s mission: Empower industries with renewable thermal energy. 

Kyoto Group is named after the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. The Protocol represents a significant step in global efforts to address climate change, setting the stage for future agreements like the Paris Agreement. Kyoto Group aims to revolutionise industrial process heat and reduce CO2 emissions. 

Kyoto's vision: A world powered by Nature. 

Kyoto’s core strategy revolves around two main offerings. First, we sell and operate Heatcube thermal batteries, which allow the industrial use of low-cost heat generated from surplus solar and wind energy—typically when electricity prices are low. Second, we manage an Energy Management System, a remote-control solution designed to optimise renewable energy consumption for cost efficiency and carbon neutrality. Our dual focus is to deliver an affordable, carbon-neutral heat product to end-users while providing balancing services and flexibility solutions for power producers and grid operators.
