Energynest executives in front of Thermal Battery

Our story

Founded in 2011 by Professor Pål Bergan and
Øivind Resch, ENERGYNEST has since developed the
innovative, future-facing ThermalBatteryTM
technology to convert waste heat into renewable
energy.

Having successfully completed a prominent and
externally-validated pilot project in Masdar City (Abu Dhabi) in cooperation with the Masdar Institute of Science & Technology, we have proven our technology and the edge it can bring.

Partnerships with top tier suppliers, development
partners, internationally renowned engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) companies, as
well as R&D institutes, are all vital contributors to
our position as an energy storage leader in power
generation and across energy-intensive industries.

Today, ENERGYNEST is successfully launching several
large-scale industrial integrations of Nests powered
by ThermalBatteryTM, and is poised to push the
energy transition of industry.

Wasted energy is costing industry and the earth

Dr. Christian Thiel, CEO EnergyNest

”If you asked a random person on the street today what we need to do to transition to renewable energy, achieve net-zero and become carbonneutral, they might suggest eating less meat or flying less. While these actions matter at an individual level, the simple truth is that net-zero will remain a dream if we do not address industrial heat. Even after 8 years in the company, whatever I do from Monday to Friday doesn’t really feel like work. It’s like a mission. Something to fight for every day.”
