Antora Energy

Antora Energy, located at 1244 Reamwood Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94089, is at the forefront of developing advanced thermal battery systems. These batteries are designed to store and convert renewable electricity into high-temperature heat, stored in solid carbon blocks within an insulated module. This heat can then be converted back to electricity at high efficiencies using heat-to-power thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology. The company’s innovative approach allows for the delivery of on-demand electricity and zero-emissions industrial heat at competitive costs compared to fossil fuels. Antora Energy’s technology addresses the critical needs of large-scale industrial operations that require high temperatures and significant energy storage capacity. Recently, the company raised $150 million in Series B funding, led by Decarbonization Partners, to accelerate the scaling of its technology. Additionally, Antora’s thermal battery technology was recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions Of 2023. The company has also received $4 million in grants from the California Energy Commission and the Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy to further develop and scale their TPV technology.
