WE ARE HERE TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE AND POWER GLOBAL INDUSTRY
We are an American energy technology company working to stop climate change by making cheap, clean energy the standard that powers global industry.
OUR STORY
FOUNDING STORY
We started Antora with a simple question: How can we make the biggest positive impact on climate change?
The answer was clear. Manufacturing is the single largest driver of climate change, accounting for a staggering 30% of global emissions. And the only way to restore a livable planet is to take that number down to zero.
We needed a way to convert the cheapest source of energy on earth—wind and solar—into the always-on heat and power that industry requires. And after evaluating every possible way to do that, we arrived at the simplest, lowest-cost way to deliver industrial energy: thermal batteries.
Manufacturing at Scale
From the very beginning, we’ve designed our American-made thermal batteries for rapid production and scale.
We turned on our first thermal battery deployment in 2023, and now we’re on the path to manufacturing thousands. Our landmark gigafactory in San Jose, California is actively producing thermal batteries for our first commercial projects.
WHERE WE'RE GOING
We’re just getting started. To decarbonize global manufacturing, the world needs to deploy terawatt-hours of thermal batteries across every industry, from chemicals to food & beverage to steel and cement.
We’re working with industrial facilities across the country and around the world to electrify their operations. And we’re partnering with project financiers, policymakers, and the world's largest renewable power developers to accelerate this transformation.

EMPLOYEE STORIES
Coming from Tesla, I saw what makes products succeed, and what makes them fail. I was immediately drawn to the elegance of Antora’s product: it’s all simple, tried-and-true components that work together in a unique way. Working here for two years has only deepened my conviction that Antora has cracked the code to decarbonize industry.
Staff Technical Program Manager
The passion of the Antora team is more genuine, more full, than any company I’ve ever seen. The team is filled to the brim with smart, funny, and dedicated individuals who want to create a positive impact on the world.
Head of Heat-to-Power Operations
We’re thinking through problems that no one has ever thought through before. That’s incredibly fun and rewarding in itself, but what makes it special is the team—I truly believe that there is no better place to tackle these challenges than in the collaborative, lighthearted environment that Antora creates.
Manager of Controls and Software
The more I learned about Antora’s technology, the more I saw its enormous potential, and how immediate it could be. Within a few months of joining, I knew that this was what I wanted to be doing. I’d found the impact I was looking for.
