Exergy3 has commissioned a unique thermal energy storage system at Annandale Distillery, converting curtailed wind energy into high-temperature heat for whisky production. The system can achieve temperatures up to 1,200°C, providing hot air at 530°C for distillation via a Cochran boiler.
This project, supported by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, aims to tackle industrial heat’s substantial CO₂ emissions and is part of a broader 12-step decarbonisation strategy that includes on-site bottling and transport electrification. The modular design allows for rapid installation and scalability, potentially reducing global industrial emissions significantly while being more cost-effective than gas.
