Jim Gromer on Thermal Energy Storage Solutions

In this Convo of Flanigan’s Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Jim Gromer, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Thermal Banc/TESS Energy Solutions, a collaborative effort of companies building thermal energy storage solutions - turning waste heat into clean energy. Thermal Banc makes up the sales wing, TESS Energy Solutions the engineering wing, Smart Phases the manufacturing wing, and Novacab comprises the battery. The technology is revolutionizing energy efficiency by capturing, storing, and reusing waste heat, significantly reducing industrial and commercial energy consumption. For the facilities they serve, such as data centers and universities, Thermal Banc/TESS Energy Solutions technology supports carbon emission reduction, energy efficiency enhancement, resource conservation, and circular economy alignment, demonstrating a dedication to pioneering renewable energy solutions that not only drive profitability, but also contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable world.Ted and Jim discuss his background briefly, based in Colorado, spending most of his career in the television industry, and recently moving into the renewable energy space with Thermal Banc and TESS Energy Solutions. He digs into the technology, which collects waste heat from different kinds of facilities and up to 135 sources. The collected waste is stored in phase change materials, generating power to offset carbon dioxide emissions and to cut peak demand charges.
