Interview with Nis Benn, Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Hyme Energy

In this interview, Nis Benn, Co-Founder and CCO of Hyme Energy, discusses how the Danish company is tackling one of the biggest decarbonization challenges: industrial process heat, which accounts for nearly 30% of global energy use, 90% of which is still fossil-fueled. Hyme Energy has developed an innovative molten salt-based thermal energy storage system that captures low-cost renewable energy and dispatches it as heat on demand, enabling industries to shift away from fossil fuels. With proprietary corrosion-resistant storage media, a growing international team, and a fully commissioned technology demonstrator, Hyme is now scaling up operations and raising new capital. As part of the EIC Scaling Club, they’re building connections with investors and peers while working toward making clean, reliable, and competitive industrial energy a European strength.
