Decarbonising thermal energy is one of the most powerful steps industrial organisations can take on the journey to net‑zero. Steam remains the most efficient and flexible heat‑transfer medium available, but the way we generate and manage it must evolve. The TargetZero portfolio, part of our Customer Sustainability Journey (CSJ) framework, is designed to help you do exactly that—providing a suite of technologies that enable cleaner, more efficient and future‑ready steam and thermal energy systems.
Introducing the TargetZero portfolio
TargetZero brings together transformative technologies—each designed to help industrial sites cut emissions, improve efficiency, and build long‑term resilience in a decarbonising world.
Journey to net-zero
SteamVolt: Zero‑emission electric steam generation at scale
SteamVolt delivers high‑capacity steam generation using proven medium‑voltage electric heating technology, operating at up to 6.6 kV.
With power outputs up to 11MWe (from a single bundle) and steam capabilities up to 15 t/h, SteamVolt allows organisations to replace or supplement fossil‑fired boilers with a fully electric, zero‑emission alternative.
Medium voltage technology enabling high power output, high system efficiency and reduced OpEx. Operating at higher voltage allows more power to be delivered at lower current, reducing electrical losses and infrastructure demands. This can mean smaller cabling and, in some cases, no need for transformers—cutting both capital expenditure and lifetime operating costs.
Key benefits
- Zero‑emission steam generation (when powered by renewable electricity)
- Robust, proven, MV Resistive heating element technology, engineered for industrial environments by Chromalox, a Spirax Group company
- Easy integration with existing steam infrastructure for faster decarbonisation
- High efficiency (>99%)
- Installation cost savings
- Reduced maintenance and operational costs
SteamBattery: flexible thermal energy storage for carbon free steam
SteamBattery is a unique thermal energy storage and on‑demand steam generation system that converts electricity into stored hot water, releasing it later as flash steam whenever required. This solves a critical challenge: aligning variable renewable energy with continuous or fluctuating steam demand.
Key benefits
- Zero‑carbon steam at the point of use (when powered by renewable electricity)
- Allows retention of existing steam infrastructure, reducing time, cost and disruption
- Flexible integration and modular scaling
- OPEX savings by storing off-peak electricity as thermal energy
- Meet peak demands without requiring oversized boilers and/or infrastructure
High‑temperature heat pumps: recover, reuse and reduce
High‑temperature heat pumps enable industrial sites to capture and reuse waste heat—reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering emissions from thermal processes.
Producing temperatures up to 175°C (and soon 200°C), they make it possible to electrify thermal loads previously considered too demanding for heat pump technology.
Key benefits
- Recover and reuse waste heat to improve overall thermal efficiency
- Reduce reliance on fossil fuels for process heating across key industries
- Deliver high outlet temperatures suitable for demanding industrial applications
- Integrate seamlessly with existing steam systems for staged, low‑risk decarbonisation
