Advancing sustainability with fresh perspectives this November
This month, we’re excited to share key updates on Kyoto Group’s mission to decarbonize industry. Discover our latest awards in Europe, the significant Heatcube milestones achieved at KALL, and how our innovative Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) model is revolutionizing thermal energy storage.
We’re also proud to announce Morten Bülow as our new CEO. With nearly 20 years of experience in scaling operations in the energy sector, he will lead us through our next phase of growth.
Read about our recognition in the Future Cleantech Architects report for tackling high-temperature heat emissions, and explore how our new ESG Policy reinforces our commitment to sustainability.
Kyoto’s Heatcube recognized for excellence in energy storage
Kyoto’s Heatcube, installed at Norbis Park, has been awarded the title of Best Overall European Energy Storage Project at the 2024 Energy Storage Awards.
This accolade underscores the innovative strides we are making in thermal energy storage. Heatcube is designed to provide efficient, scalable, and sustainable energy solutions, positioning it as a critical technology for the future of industrial energy.
We extend our gratitude to our dedicated team and collaborative partners for achieving this significant milestone.

Heatcube update at KALL Ingredients
Progress is steaming ahead at KALL Ingredients!
We've begun E-tracing cable installation for the Molten Salt Tanks, as well as around the steam generator and super heater. Meanwhile, the pre-fabrication of pipe spools is well underway at our fabricator and pipe installer, with on-site installation set to begin shortly.
Alongside this, we’ve successfully installed secondary pipe supports, cable trays, and scaffolding to support ongoing heat tracing work and cable tray installation.
This rapid progress marks another significant step toward completion and the delivery of Heatcube, bringing us closer to decarbonizing KALL's industrial processes.
Stay tuned for more updates as we head towards the end of this year.

Kyoto's ESG Policy: Advancing a sustainable future
We are proud to announce the release of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Policy—a comprehensive framework that defines our approach to creating a sustainable and responsible future.
At Kyoto Group, we are dedicated to driving industrial decarbonization through our innovative Heatcube technology, forging partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to sustainability, and adhering to internationally recognized standards, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.
Our ESG Policy outlines how we integrate these principles into every aspect of our operations, reinforcing our role as a leader in the renewable energy sector.
Industry insights: Heatcube recognized for pioneering decarbonization of high-temperature heat
The Future Cleantech Architects report on Decarbonizing High-Temperature Heat has highlighted Kyoto Group for our innovative contributions to transforming industrial energy.
High-temperature heat accounts for nearly 50% of industrial energy use and is often inefficient and carbon-intensive. With advanced thermal storage, businesses in Europe and beyond are increasingly realizing the potential to store energy when it’s cost-effective or sourced from their own renewable supply.
This recognition is more than an acknowledgment of our technology—it’s a clear indication that industries can reach net-zero targets without compromising operational performance
