Manufacturing 1 passenger tire consumes the equivalent of roughly 2.5 litres of diesel to make high temperature steam, which emits 5.3 kg of CO₂ per tire. Over 50 millions passenger tires are produced annually in Europe, mostly in sun-rich areas of Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Tire manufacturers stand to cut energy costs by 50% to 75% and completely eliminate the CO₂ emissions associated with their industrial processes by adopting Focal Line Solar's technology.
Industrial heat represents a huge threat
Roughly one third of the world's energy goes to powering the industry that enables our modern life. Three-quarters (75%) of that energy goes as heat to drive various industrial processes, and in great proportion for generating steam. 70% of all process heat is still derived from hydrocarbons.
Steam remains the workhorse of modern industrial processes. It is easy to produce, is highly efficient at conducting heat, and controlling its temperature is relatively simple.
Think cooking (breakfast cereals, snacks), pasteurization (milk, canned goods), dehydration (pastas, milk powder, sugar) , sterilization (bottling, canning), distillation (petroleum, spirits) - all depend on steam.
Without industrial heat, our modern life is not possible. Without an alternative cost-competitive, renewable thermal energy source, Europe will remain addicted to hydrocarbons.
Even Heat delivers 24/7 carbon-free, industrial-grade heat
Focal Line Solar is bringing its revolutionary technology to market through Even Heat. Even Heat will sell carbon-free 24/7 industrial grade heat to industrial customers through heat purchase agreements (HPAs).
By combining its proprietary thermal energy storage revolutionary solar trough technology, Even Heat will supply heat at temperatures up to 300°C / 450°C at a cost below that of natural gas.
- Zero Upfront Costs
- Reduced Operational Risks
- Increased Predictability & Energy Sovereignty
- Accelerated Decarbonization & Compliance
- Preserve Cash: Even Heat finances, purchases, and installs all thermal infrastructure.
- Off-Balance-Sheet Financing: Heavy equipment liabilities are removed from the customer's balance sheet.
- Guaranteed Uptime: Even Heat takes full responsibility for 24/7 monitoring and repairs.
- Performance Guarantees: Customers only pay for verified thermal energy units delivered at the required temperatures.
- Obsolescence Protection: Even Heat bears all costs for future technology upgrades and system degradation.
- Hedge Against Volatility: Companies have stable energy costs for 20 years, shielding operations from wild fuel price spikes while securing a consequential competitive advantage.
- Localized Production: On-site thermal generation reduces dependency on external, unstable energy grids.
- Instant Scope 1 Reductions: Customers eliminate direct factory emissions by replacing on-site fossil burners.
- Regulatory Compliance: Customers shield their facilities from escalating carbon taxes and strict environmental penalties.
- Sustainability Validation: Green solar thermal energy instantly elevates the environmental appeal of finished goods.
Uniquely positioned to deliver cost-effective industrial heat
Focal Line Solar has spent the last ten years redesigning every aspect of solar thermal concentrating trough technology to achieve thermal energy that is cheaper than natural gas in many areas of Europe. The results are staggering:
- ½ the energy cost
- ½ the CAPEX
- ½ the O&M costs
The rest of the industry, however, has only gotten more expensive.
