Our Solutions
Find the Right Carbon-Free Option
Decarbonizing industry requires different approaches for different operational realities. Heliogen uses a modular design to turn solar thermal energy into a variety of energy inputs needed for your industrial processes.
Heat
Industrial Carbon-Free Steam
A robust steam solution
For organizations looking to decarbonize industrial process steam for used in extended hour operations, we provide a carbon-free alternative. This ready-to-deploy solution lowers fossil fuel dependence to help you achieve your climate targets. At the same time, it mitigates exposure to fuel price volatility for improved margins.
How it works
Renewable solar heat is collected and stored in long-duration thermal energy storage. Solar steam can then be delivered at temperatures up to 1020 °F / 550 °C, with delivery pressure adjusted to match site needs.
Industries this solution can apply to:
Power
Generate Clean Power
Carbon-free electricity
For organizations operating in high solar density regions, our Hybrid Power solution capitalizes on an abundant natural resource using concentrating solar energy generation, solar photovoltaics and thermal storage with a steam Rankine cycle. The resulting dispatchable electricity can achieve cost-effective, low-carbon power at grid scale.
Our solution
The power solution is designed to deliver high capacity-factor renewable power with significantly reduced cost, water usage, equipment size, and plant footprint.
Solar Resources Map
Maximizing Solar Irradiance
The amount of direct sunlight that is available at a particular location (solar irradiance) determines how much energy Heliogen technology can generate. We work closely with customers to evaluate solar resource availability at their location to optimize the design and size of our system for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
