R&D Activities: CADE’s growth engine
In 2009, CADE created a specific department for the development of Research, Development and Innovation (R+D+i) activities, providing it with its own personnel and means for the development of various technological initiatives. A strategic initiative whose purpose was, and is, to channel and enhance the knowledge developed in multiple sectors and clients to offer high-impact […]
Thermal storage as a key element in the renewable electrification of industrial processes
Industrial processes, unlike the tertiary and residential sectors, require a higher proportion of heat than electricity. For this reason, the integration of renewable energies in these processes must consider thermal components that replace fossil generation systems. In this sense, different ways of obtaining renewable heat arise: Through biomass Through solar thermal energy Through renewable photovoltaic […]

Attributes of the solidTES product
The importance of understanding some attributes of the soliTES product, is more than a thermal energy storage solution: it is the key to a 100% renewable and decarbonized industry. By incorporating electrification into the charging of monolit-e and megalit-e systems, solidTES contributes to the energy independence of the industry, displacing fossil fuels. Our systems are […]
Investment tsunami in thermal energy storage: the energy revolution of the future
Currently, the energy storage market is experiencing growth due to increasing concerns regarding energy transition and supply, as well as industry decarbonization. These factors make the market a significant future pillar for energy demand flexibility, reflected in the substantial global investments in it, exceeding 337 billion U.S. dollars (Statista). Particularly, thermal energy storage holds great appeal and […]
Thermal Storage: Accelerating decarbonization and energy efficiency
Natural gas has gained considerable importance in the energy market in recent years, especially in the European Union, due to the war between Ukraine and Russia. Russia was the main exporter of natural gas to the European Union, representing 40% of gas imports in 2021. Dependency on natural gas imports in the EU is a […]
