As more and more intermittent power comes online, energy storage is be-coming a critical issue. Reliability is already a problem, but just wait until most of the vehicles on the road are electric. There are several types of utility-scale batteries on the market that aim to solve this problem: Electrochemical batteries like lithium ion, pumped hydroelectric storage, compressed air energy storage, and thermal storage are the primary options.

With thermal storage solutions, energy is captured, converted and stored asheat in water (for, molten salts, or other working fluids for later use. Azelio’s solution, the TES.POD is a long-duration energy storage system based on recycled aluminium. It can produce clean energy either as electricity, or electricity and heat 24/7.
Whether their clients are working in the mining industry, with agriculture, tourism resorts, communities, telecommunications, or water treatment plants, the TES.POD can fit their needs.
Azelio started their first commercial project in Sweden, a joint project for the industry hotel owned by "Industrisupport i Åmål AB" where Svea Solar installed the solar PV (photovoltaic) and Azelio will install their TES.POD.
Azelio recently received their first commercial order from Dubai and one of the world’s most prominent solar parks.
