Product description

Water Horizon’s mobile thermal battery technology, available in MH2C and LH2C variants, revolutionizes waste heat recovery and remote heating or cooling solutions. These systems capture industrial waste heat that would otherwise be lost and store it chemically without any loss. The stored energy can then be discharged as either heating or cooling to remote locations or for delayed use.

In practical applications, such as powering a sports complex through waste incineration, the system ensures efficient thermal energy delivery without the need for pipelines. This is achieved through the use of rotating battery units, ensuring continuity of service. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, the technology helps in cutting energy costs and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Designed under a 'Cooling as a Service' model, clients only pay for the energy consumed, allowing them to benefit from renewable thermal energy without the need for capital investment. This approach supports decarbonization efforts and enhances resilience in energy supply.

About the Company

Water Horizon is a deep-tech startup based in Toulouse, France, founded in 2017. It pioneers mobile thermal battery technology that captures and stores industrial waste heat in a chemical medium and later delivers it as renewable heating or cooling at different times or locations. This plug-and-play solution enables energy recovery without upfront infrastructure, empowering industries to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. Demonstration projects—including athletic facilities in Toulouse—have proven that Waste heat can be used to deliver gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually, reducing tons of CO₂ emissions each year. With its scalable "Cooling-as-a-Service" offering, Water Horizon facilitates industrial decarbonization and promotes sustainable energy management.
