About Us:
Emberise is a groundbreaking joint venture in the field of high-temperature heat processes for industrial applications, leveraging renewable energy. This venture is a collaboration between
Synhelion, a clean energy startup turning concentrated solar power technology into sustainable solar fuels and
Cemex, a global leader in construction.
Our Game-Changing Technology:
Solar energy is the most abundant renewable energy resource on planet Earth. In fact, the sun delivers more energy to the earth within a couple of hours than the whole world consumes within a year. The challenge lies in harnessing this huge energy potential.
We apply proprietary solar technology to generate high-temperature process heat from concentrated sunlight. We can provide fully renewable solar process heat beyond 1’500°C, offering industries that traditionally rely on the burning of fossil fuels a sustainable alternative. The integration of solar heat into industrial processes is a significant step towards decarbonization, particularly in sectors that are traditionally challenging to abate (cement, glass, ceramic, and chemical production among others).
