Harnessing Sunlight for Future Industries

Next Generation Solar Industrial Heat

ODQA is focused on transforming how energy‑intensive industries generate high‑temperature heat. Our vision is clear: We want to provide gigawatts of low‑cost, carbon‑free and secure heat to industrial customers around the world. At scale, our technology will have a material impact on global emissions. We turn sunlight into secure, high‑temperature heat for industry, with systems that are safe, bankable, scalable and trusted by industry.

Industrial heat between 400°C and 800°C is one of the most challenging segments to decarbonise. ODQA’s solar‑thermal technology delivers reliable, dispatchable heat that integrates directly into existing processes, helping customers reduce carbon exposure, stabilise long‑term energy costs and strengthen operational resilience. We work in regions with strong solar resources and land profiles that support efficient deployment, ensuring our systems deliver both performance and economic value.

Our focus is on sectors where high‑temperature heat is essential and decarbonisation pressures are accelerating: Mining, Metals, Cement and Ceramics. Through joint feasibility studies with our customers, we identify the specific steps where our technology can be integrated with minimal disruption and maximum impact—from aluminium pre‑heat and furnaces, to phosphate and gypsum calcination, ceramic spray drying, and lime calcination in cement. These processes represent some of the most carbon‑intensive stages in global supply chains, and they are precisely where ODQA can deliver meaningful impact.

By partnering with industrial leaders, we aim to make clean, affordable heat a competitive advantage. ODQA is committed to enabling the next generation of low‑carbon materials, metals and products, powered by the sun.
