Breakout Room: Stockholm

For the first time at a major climate finance summit, serial entrepreneur and inventor Jon Bøhmer will present Huma Energy's innovative approach to industrial decarbonization through advanced thermal energy storage systems that address one of climate finance's most challenging sectors.

The Industrial Heat Challenge
Nearly 20% of global energy consumption goes to industrial heating processes, with temperatures ranging from 150°C to over 1,400°C required for steel, cement, chemicals, and other energy-intensive industries. This represents one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize, as most current renewable energy storage solutions cannot deliver the high temperatures and long-duration storage required by heavy industry.

Thermal Energy Storage at Scale
Bøhmer will showcase how advanced thermal energy storage systems can store renewable electricity as high-temperature heat for hours, days, or even weeks, enabling industrial processes to run on clean energy around the clock. These systems achieve remarkable cost advantages over conventional battery storage while providing the extreme temperatures that industrial processes demand.

Creating New Revenue Streams
Beyond replacing fossil fuels, these thermal systems can transform industrial waste streams into valuable products. By integrating thermal processing with chemical reactions, facilities can convert CO₂ emissions into commercially valuable carbon materials, creating new revenue streams while reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Innovative Climate Finance Models
Bøhmer will present Huma's approach to overcoming the capital expenditure barriers that prevent industrial decarbonization. Through "Heat-as-a-Service" and "Chemistry-as-a-Service" business models, combined with 100% project financing structures, industrial customers can access advanced clean technology without upfront investment while creating bankable carbon assets for climate investors.

From Concept to Commercial Reality
Drawing on his 30+ years of experience scaling technology companies globally – from founding digital signage pioneer Scala to winning the Financial Times Climate Change Challenge – Bøhmer will share insights on bringing breakthrough climate technologies from laboratory to commercial deployment, including current pilot projects with major industrial partners.

The Path to Gigatonne Impact
With industrial heating representing such a massive portion of global emissions, successful thermal storage solutions could eliminate gigatons of CO₂ annually while supporting higher penetration of renewable energy across entire industrial ecosystems.

Join us for this presentation on how advanced thermal storage technology is creating new investment opportunities in industrial decarbonization and transforming industrial waste into valuable carbon assets.
