Antora Energy Receives Over $4 Million from California Energy Commission and ARPA-E to Expand Production of Breakthrough Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) Technology
This funding represents critical state-federal collaboration to scale innovative clean energy technologies, following earlier funding from the two organizations to bring Antora’s TPV technology from the lab to the manufacturing line.
- This funding represents critical state-federal collaboration to scale innovative clean energy technologies, following earlier funding from the two organizations to bring Antora’s TPV technology from the lab to the manufacturing line.
- Antora’s thermal battery stores renewable energy as heat in blocks of solid carbon, enabling cost-effective energy storage and outputting high-temperature industrial heat and electricity on demand at costs competitive with fossil fuels.
- “From the very beginning, the CEC and ARPA-E have been critical supporters of Antora,” said Andrew Ponec, co-founder and CEO, Antora Energy.
- “This additional funding will further accelerate our production of TPV and continue to strengthen Antora's position as the industry leader in TPV technology.
