Batteries add heat and strain cooling systems, so only ~50% of their energy powers IT. IceBrick does the opposite reducing cooling load and delivering up to 90% of its energy to compute.

An annual levelized  cost comparison finds that thermal energy storage undercuts lithium-ion batteries by 40% for unlocking data center compute capacity — and the math starts with ice.

Before electricity, ice was king for cooling! Explore the surprising origins of air conditioning. See how Nostromo Energy's innovative ice batteries build on that legacy, delivering sustainable, cost-saving, and grid-resilient cooling for modern buildings.

Check out the five energy storage companies using lithium-ion, flow, and thermal storage solutions to propel us towards a carbon-free future. 

Energy storage systems are the key to achieving ‘net zero’ carbon emissions. They significantly reduce the need to rely on fossil fuels and increase the reliability and flow of renewable and clean energy sources.

To understand the IceBrick system, we first need to understand how buildings are cooled. Large commercial buildings are cooled using chillers. Chillers use refrigerants to cool water, and then distribute this cooled water throughout the building.

As the world heats up, more energy is required to keep buildings cool. By pairing renewable energy with safe ‘behind the meter’ energy storage solutions businesses can reduce both their carbon footprint and their energy bills.
