Swedish SaltX technology stores energy in nano coated salt

SaltX Technology (LINK) is a Swedish innovation company that has developed and patented a thermal energy storage technology. Any type of energy is stored chemically in nano-coated salts and released as hot water or steam.


SaltX Technology has developed a selection of salts for applications in numerous industries. The salts deliver temperatures in a range from -30°C to 550°C. In combination with different matrix technologies, the salts can be used equally efficiently in quantities ranging from a teaspoon to hundreds of thousands of tons. 


SaltX technologies are used in solar collectors such as SunCool. Powered by the sun, SaltX nano-coated salts store heat energy, and release it in the form of heat and cooling when needed.

One of the early adopters is Löfbergs coffee roasting facility in Karlstad. The coffee maker can boast of having the world’s largest SunCool installation, covering 180 m2 of their roof. Each square meter saves up to 100 EUR per year.

Manufacturers who include the SaltX SunCool Development Kits in their systems aim to offer their customers tremendous yearly savings and an easy transition to a circular economy.
