MIT’s hot battery bricks unlock 3,272°F renewable heat for heavy industries

SMRTR summary

MIT spinout Electrified Thermal Solutions has developed electrically conductive firebricks that can store and release heat up to 3,272°F, potentially replacing fossil fuels in hard-to-decarbonize heavy industries. The "e-Bricks" can retain heat for hours, offering a zero-carbon solution for industries like cement, steel, and chemicals that require high temperatures for production processes.
