Kyoto Group Partners with Hebsgaard | Larsen for Heat-as-a-Service
Kyoto Group is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Danish consultancy Hebsgaard | Larsen. This collaboration aims to significantly speed up the adoption of Kyoto Group's innovative heating solution, the Heatcube, particularly in Denmark. This environmentally friendly approach offers fully electrified heat at a competitive price while eliminating the need for upfront investments.
Many industrial companies in Denmark are actively seeking alternatives to phase out their natural gas boilers. This shift is not just a trend, but a response to a mix of regulatory pressures, financial incentives, and evolving customer preferences. According to Tim de Haas, Chief Commercial Officer at Kyoto Group, "Our solution allows industries to decarbonize their heat processes without incurring heavy capital costs or facing substantial operational changes. Partnering with Hebsgaard | Larsen leverages their strong local presence and expertise, making it easier for us to spread the word to potential clients."
The Heatcube technology stands out by delivering stable and high-volume fully electrified heat for various industrial applications. With its use of thermal energy storage, Heatcube not only helps in reducing the costs associated with process heating but also minimizes carbon dioxide emissions. This technology acts as a safeguard against the unpredictability of energy prices, allowing industries to plan their expenditures more effectively.
Jakob Hebsgaard, the Managing Partner at Hebsgaard | Larsen, expressed great enthusiasm about this collaboration, stating, "Our experience in identifying the green potential within organizations is crucial as industries transition towards sustainable options. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is becoming increasingly relevant, and we believe that introducing Heatcube will inspire many potential customers to consider this transformative technology in their operations."
As part of the collaboration, Hebsgaard | Larsen will be instrumental in promoting the Heatcube, identifying various business opportunities, and assisting in sales processes. This partnership is a key component of Kyoto Group's ongoing strategy to expedite the acceptance of the Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) model in Denmark, further emphasizing its commitment to delivering affordable electrified heating solutions.
Kyoto Group has already established a presence in Denmark, with its first full-scale commercial project utilizing the HaaS model launched at Norbis Park. This state-of-the-art facility, a large combined heat and power (CHP) plant, began operations recently, setting a benchmark for Kyoto’s innovative approach to sustainable heat production.

About Kyoto Group
Kyoto Group is at the forefront of the thermal battery industry, dedicated to the decarbonization of industrial heat production through its cutting-edge solution, Heatcube. Traditionally, industrial heat generation contributes to a significant portion of carbon emissions globally. However, through the implementation of Heatcube, industries can transition to cleaner energy sources and drastically reduce their environmental impact.
Heatcube is designed as a sustainable, cost-efficient plug-and-play solution that captures and stores renewable energy. This stored energy is converted to heat for industrial purposes, effectively generating steam without relying on fossil fuels. Kyoto Group aspires to enable industries worldwide to shift towards renewable thermal energy, significantly contributing to a sustainable future.
Founded in 2016, Kyoto Group has established offices in Oslo and Seville, with operations extending to Denmark. Their principal investor, Glentra, a prominent Danish energy fund, supports initiatives aimed at advancing the green transition through innovative technologies focused on decarbonization and energy efficiency.
