Andrew Ponec is the co-founder and CEO of Antora Energy, a startup developing thermal energy storage that turns solar and wind into zero-carbon industrial heat and power. Antora Energy is backed by leading investors including Lowercarbon Capital and Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Mr. Ponec previously founded a solar energy company called Dragonfly Systems.
Antora Energy, an American cleantech company founded in 2017, develops a low-cost thermal storage solution for grid-scale energy storage of renewable resources based on an inexpensive thermal storage medium and a high
The sum raised across 64 corporate funding deals in total represented a 117% increase from the equivalent period of 2023 when US$7.1 billion was recorded from 59 deals.. It is short of the US$15.8 billion raised in H1 2022, although at the time it was noted by Mercom that the US$10.7 billion IPO by LG Energy Solution ''distorted'' year-on-year comparisons.
Antora''s three co-founders came together as Activate Fellows. Today, they are among the country''s top energy storage innovators. Images of solar farms and massive turbines evoke hope for the clean energy transition, but they obscure the real work involved in capturing, storing, and using that energy to power the industries most reliant on fossil fuels today.
However, even in those instances there are technologies of promise emerging, such as multi-day energy storage through novel battery technologies, while cement or steel producers could still leverage LDES tech
