SolarSteam (Accelerator)

Company Description: SolarSteam, est. 2017 as Alberta corporation, is a hard/climate-tech start-up focused on development and commercialization of a novel enclosed concentrated solar technology delivering renewable heat to industrial and institutional clients in extreme climates. The technology offers plug and play integration into brownfield and greenfield facilities in heat-intensive industry markets such as petrochemical production, bio-refineries, cement and steel production, hydrogen production, pulp & paper manufacturing, district heating & cooling, food processing and alcohol/beverages production. Solar Steam’s system operates in conjunction with existing boiler systems, using boiler-fed water or heat transfer fluids to provide hot water and steam generation at temperatures up to 350°C. Distinguishing this technology from competitors is its modularity, tailoring to all climates, including northern climates, and capacity to decrease fuel consumption and carbon costs by displacing quantities of carbon dioxide produced by traditional heat generation and enabling companies to meet their 2030 and 2050 targets without investing in stranded assets and amortizing expensive existing OPEX.
