We have hit the ground running in 2026. From Seville to Copenhagen, Kyoto Group has been on the ground, and on stage, demonstrating that flexible, renewable heat is a commercial reality.
As we prepare for E-world in Essen next month, we explore how Heatcube is bridging the gap for industrial players, decoupling production from volatile markets, and ensuring reliable, high-temperature heat.
Catch up on our January momentum, discover our new resource for the chemical sector, and check the approaching deadline for the IF25 Heat Auction.
Explore our latest updates and join us in shaping the future of industrial heat!
We’re gearing up for E-world energy & water in Essen, ready to demonstrate how industrial players can bridge the gap between variable renewable power and the need for a steady, secure and low-cost supply of process heat.
Heatcube is that missing link. It allows you to decouple your production from volatile energy markets, ensuring stable heat supply while significantly reducing your carbon footprint.
We will be located in Hall 3, Stand 3F103 from February 10–12, and we want to hear about your specific process heat needs. Book a time with our experts Tim de Haas, Elena Davydova, Lars Martinussen, and Roger Wietusch.

The energy transition is moving fast, and 2026 kicked off with a clear message across Europe: the demand for flexible, reliable, and renewable industrial heat is reshaping the industry. Over the past few weeks, the Kyoto Group team has been on the ground in Spain, Denmark, and Switzerland driving this dialogue.
Here is a snapshot of the conversations that defined our start to the year:
Seville (Jan 20): At the Seville Forum on Machinery for Decarbonization, Andrés Barros Borrero and Pedro Montoro Sánchez highlighted how thermal storage is proving itself as a commercially viable reality for modern industry. Andrés added "Thermal storage works very well in medium-to-high temperature, predictable industrial heat. Today, scaling Power to Heat is more about regulation, grid access flexibility and contracts than about technology."
Copenhagen (Jan 21–22): Addressing the "blind spot" of net-zero strategies at the High-Temperature Heat Pump Symposium, Elena Davydova showcased how thermal energy storage acts as a long-term asset that reduces reliance on fossil backup without compromising reliability.
Lucerne (Jan 30): Roger Wietusch challenged the status quo at the Swiss Symposium on Thermal Energy Storage by shifting the focus to a "needs-first" approach, proving that industrial players secure a competitive edge when they build genuine flexibility.
The journey continues as we gear up for our next major stop in Germany at E-world energy & water.

The chemical industry operates on a massive scale, and so does its energy demand. But as the pressure to decarbonize mounts, the requirement for absolute process stability remains unchanged.
Recently, we launched our dedicated industry page for the chemical sector. This new resource dives deep into how Heatcube bridges the gap between intermittent renewable energy and the continuous high-temperature heat your processes demand.
From distillation columns to continuous reactors and drying operations, we break down how electrifying your steam supply decouples your facility from volatile gas markets, turning a potential liability into a long-term competitive advantage.
On this new page, you can explore:
Technical profiles tailored to your specific unit operations.
Strategies to secure 24/7 baseload steam using intermittent renewables.
Proof points, including how Heatcube is already saving 8,000 tons of CO2 annually for KALL Ingredients.

Decarbonizing high-temperature heat shouldn't mean sacrificing reliability. Just ask KALL Ingredients. By integrating Heatcube into their operations, they are replacing natural gas with electrified thermal energy, proving that fossil-free industrial heat is not just sustainable, but a competitive advantage for industrial production.

That is the exact moment the window closes for the IF25 Heat Auction.
Industrial energy users have a prime opportunity right now to secure financial support for decarbonizing process heat, but the deadline is approaching.
The Innovation Fund support is structured as a fixed premium for every tonne of CO₂ avoided, rewarding projects that are both cost-efficient and high-impact. However, a winning application requires precision, technical depth, and a solid business case.
Kyoto invites you to submit a joint application.
We don't just provide the technology; we strengthen your bid. Heatcube is a direct match for this opportunity, capturing surplus renewable electricity and converting it into stable, high-temperature steam on demand.
By joining forces with Kyoto Group, you gain:
Competitive Edge: A joint application leverages our expertise to maximize your chances of success.
Impact Insight: We provide detailed CO₂ reduction assessments and economic modeling tailored to your specific project.
Full Support: From technical documentation to the MRV plan, we guide the entire submission process.
Proven Technology: Heatcube delivers the dispatchable, scalable thermal energy the auction aims to support.
Let’s accelerate your decarbonization project and secure the funding your facility deserves.
