Startup Of The Week: Eco-Tech Ceram

Over one-third of industrial energy is wasted as heat — the equivalent of 2,450 Mt of CO₂ emissions every year worldwide.  Eco-Tech Ceram is tackling this challenge with its patented Eco-Stock system, which transforms waste heat into clean, carbon-free energy.

The French scale-up operates under a ‘Heat-as-a-Service’ model: no upfront investment is required from clients, who instead sign long-term contracts (5–15 years) at a fixed price per MWh.

Eco-Stock Ceram captures, stores and recovers high-temperature waste heat (higher than 300°C) from fumes generated by industrial furnaces in the ceramic, heavy clay, glass, chemical or metallurgical industries, redistributing it when and where required.
