Welcome to Impact Unicorns with Dr. Indranil Ghosh.
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Christian Thiel, Founder and CEO of EnergyNest, a company with an innovative platform for decarbonizing industrial heating, heating of homes, offices, malls and industrial processes is a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. It is also a segment of the economy that is hard to decarbonize, because heating systems are still often set up to be powered directly from the combustion of fossil fuels. And within heating, industrial process heat accounts for 66% of the total carbon footprint. No wonder that Dr. Thiel’s EnergyNest has been generating so much interest among industrial customers by fertilizer plants and refineries, who are keen to use the company's thermal battery to meet their ESG targets for higher temperature industrial processes above 300 to 400 Celsius.
Christian’s passion to generate global impact led him away from the comforts of corporate life to the challenges of entrepreneurship and EnergyNest.
