Kyoto Group and Hebsgaard | Larsen join forces to scale Heat-as-a-Service in Denmark
OSLO, Norway, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyoto Group has entered into a partnership with the Danish consultancy Hebsgaard | Larsen to accelerate the adoption of Kyoto Group's thermal battery, Heatcube, in Denmark. A solution which offers fully electrified heat at a reduced price without upfront investment.
"Danish industrial companies are actively looking to phase out natural gas boilers, driven by a combination of regulations, financial incentives and customer preferences. Kyoto Group offers a low-risk, cost-effective solution to decarbonize industrial process heat, without major capital investment or operational disruption," says Tim de Haas, Chief Commercial Officer at Kyoto Group. "We are thrilled to partner with Hebsgaard | Larsen. With their proven track record and strong local presence, we're well-positioned to get this message across to potential customers in Denmark."
Kyoto's Heatcube technology delivers high-volume, stable, and fully electrified heat for industrial applications, enabling a smooth transition from natural gas to renewable energy. By leveraging thermal energy storage, Heatcube significantly reduces both process heat costs and CO₂ emissions, while also providing a strategic hedge against volatile energy and commodity prices.
"At Hebsgaard | Larsen, we help our customers identify their green potential based on extensive experience. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is becoming an increasingly essential factor in this process. We are deeply impressed by Heatcube and look forward to helping introduce this groundbreaking TES technology to potential customers in Denmark," says Jakob Hebsgaard, Managing Partner at Hebsgaard | Larsen.
Under the agreement, Hebsgaard | Larsen will promote Heatcube, identify and introduce potential business opportunities and assist in sales processes. The partnership is part of Kyoto's strategy to accelerate the adoption of Heatcube's Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) model in Denmark, providing fully electrified heat at a reduced price without upfront investment.
Kyoto Group already has a foothold in Denmark as its first full-scale commercial project and HaaS model was commissioned in Aalborg, Denmark at Norbis Park, a large combined heat and power (CHP) plant, in September 2023.
