Lumenion

LUMENION GmbH is a pioneer in the development of power-to-heat storage systems that convert and store renewable energy from wind and solar power into heat. The company's main product is the high-temperature storage system, which stores electricity as heat at temperatures of up to 650°C and provides this thermal energy on demand as process heat or district heating. This technology enables renewable energy to be available 24/7, thus ensuring a reliable and predictable heat supply for various industries and local and district heating networks[2][3][5].

LUMENION's mission is to enable the transition to carbon-free process heat and electricity through innovative and cost-effective energy storage solutions. The company is part of the econnext group, which is dedicated to building subsidiaries whose business models and technologies align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the transformation towards climate neutrality. The motto "For People. For Planet. For Profit." reflects the company's commitment to achieving positive impacts on the economy, environment, and society[1].

LUMENION is strongly committed to the decarbonization of the industrial sector and district heating. The company's storage technology helps to increase the share of renewable energies in the overall mix, leading to a direct reduction in CO₂ emissions. By storing surplus energy during generation peaks and converting it into heat, green energy is made permanently available, balancing the volatility of renewable energies and ensuring energy price stability[2][4].

The company also advocates for a circular economy by ensuring that the materials used, such as steel, are highly recyclable and enabling local sourcing and assembly, which minimizes transportation costs and promotes local value creation[5].

LUMENION's storage solutions are applied in various sectors, including the food industry, the petroleum industry, and in local and district heating networks. One example is the pilot project in Berlin-Tegel, where a grid-connected storage system captures regional generation peaks from wind and solar energy and later provides this as heat and electricity on demand. Other projects include the decarbonization of vegetable processing in Schleswig-Holstein and the development of storage systems for refineries[2][4].

With its innovative technology and strong focus on sustainability and decarbonization, LUMENION makes a significant contribution to achieving climate goals and creating a more environmentally friendly and economically sustainable energy supply.
