Onsite renewable generation reduces fossil fuel reliance and transportation costs, providing supply chain stability and control.
Deliver on net-zero commitments
Move from strategy to execution on net-zero goals by working with a company focused on hard-to-decarbonize industrial processes.
Why Heliogen
Solutions For Demanding Operations
Designed to meet the needs of industrial processes more effectively than other renewable options, Heliogen pairs modular components and advanced computing for high-efficiency energy collection and storage. Continuous operations, heat-intensive applications, off-grid facilities — Heliogen solutions will advance your decarbonization goals.
Innovative concentrating solar thermal
Heliogen is reinventing concentrating solar energy by developing a system that aims to be smarter, smaller, cost competitive, easier to install and maintain, and available
on-demand.
Thermal efficiency
Heliogen turns sunlight into thermal energy for heat intensive applications. Coupled with thermal energy storage, Heliogen can offer a more cost-effective solution than batteries.
Less land, more energy
Heliogen’s highly efficient solar thermal system is designed to supply industrial steam or green hydrogen fuel on a small amount of adjacent land, with limited site preparation.
Streamlined implementation. Faster returns.
We’ve designed our system to make Heliogen solutions easier to deploy, operate, and maintain than traditional concentrating solar solutions.
Food & Beverage Processing
Enabling More Sustainable Production
Reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions with a low-carbon approach to process steam. Heliogen is well suited to provide steam heat up to 300 °C for a variety of processes such as drying, pasteurizing, sterilizing, cooking, preserving meat, fruit, and vegetable processing among others.
Heliogen Food & Beverage Solutions
Low-temperature steam processes
Heliogen’s green steam solution supports low heat processes like drying, washing, pasteurizing, sterilizing, and cooking that require temperatures from 60 oC to 300 oC.
Mining & Mineral Processing
Transforming an Energy-Intensive Industry
Mining plays an essential role in the clean energy transition, as both a significant greenhouse gas contributor, and as a source for the essential minerals needed for some of the latest sustainability solutions. Heliogen turns sunlight into green steam and green hydrogen fuel to supply critical mining applications, with electric power and high-temp applications in development.
Heliogen Mining & Mineral Processing Solutions
Process steam
For crystallization and solids drying processes, Heliogen green steam can provide process heat to reduce reliance on fossil fuel fired boilers.
Off-grid power
Under development, Heliogen concentrating solar thermal will provide efficient, dispatchable electric power to support off-grid remote operations.
Alternative fuels
Whether you need green fuels for off-road vehicles or processes like calcining, casting, or remelting, green hydrogen can be produced onsite.
Transportation
Net-Zero Fuels
The transportation sector has begun the shift away from fossil fuels, and adoption of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles is on the rise. Heliogen’s green hydrogen fuel solutions turn solar thermal energy into fuel-cell grade hydrogen, and support other sustainable fuels development.
Heliogen Transportation Solutions
Green hydrogen powered Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs)
Heliogen technology is a game changer in green hydrogen production—using a few acres of sunlight to supply zero-emission fuel to FCEVs or heavy equipment.
Green hydrogen-derived synthetic fuel production
By integrating our technology with partners, we have the capability to develop sustainable fuels using our solar thermal technology.
Data Centers
24/7 Hybridized Renewable Energy
Heliogen Data Center Solution
Dipatchable Hybrid Power
Heliogen’s hybrid approach combines software-enabled Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology with traditional solar Photovoltaics (PV) and long-duration thermal energy storage (LDES). This integrated solution produces high capacity factor, dispatchable, cost-effective energy, to support massive power needs of data centers.

Chemicals
Alternative Energy For Heat-Intensive Applications
The chemicals industry is an initial step in the supply chain for many products. Achieving net-zero goals here will have far-reaching impact. This is especially important as companies look to decarbonize Scope 3 emissions. Heliogen offers green steam at the temperatures required for distillation, stripping, boiling and other heat-intensive production processes.
Heliogen Chemicals Solutions
Steam-based applications
Heliogen green steam provides heat for uses like distillation, stripping, and injection, or as the driving force for rotating equipment.
Green hydrogen as feedstock
Use Heliogen’s hybrid power solution to fuel a third party electrolyzer and generate green hydrogen that can be used as feedstock in a variety of chemicals production, such as green ammonia, methanol, and more.
