A remedy for industrial heat.

Remedium is commercialising the Lime|loop chemical heat battery, making 24/7 zero-carbon process heat from off-peak electricity.

Our story

Remedium grew out of conversations in the University of Cambridge Energy Group: a few young scientists asking why heavy industry was still burning gas when off-peak electricity was getting cheaper every year.

The answer was a chemistry problem. So we built Lime|loop, a chemical heat battery that stores energy in CaO ↔ CaCO₃ bonds and captures food-grade CO₂ in the same cycle.
