Could u share some of your bizdev journey?

Are potential (commercial) partners willing to engage or is it just PR ?

Are they mostly concerned with projected cost/performance/response?

Is everyone waiting for someone else to build the FOAK?

(FWIW, my own interest is in green heavy transport)

thanks

We are targeting the industrial heat market first.

Our proprietary electric heat engine (=a heat pump) can generate heat up to 1000℉, and we will use it to replace industrial gas boilers and dryers with a CO2 free solution. We are in discussions with multiple potential customers for this product.

The development of the ammonia burner is done in parallel as it will be useful in a few years, when we will be ready to deploy the seasonal energy storage system.

A few companies like Form Energy are starting to deploy their first pilots at scale, let's hope they succeed!
