"MIT's Electric Bricks: A Fossil Fuel Alternative for Industry"

MIT spinoff Electrified Thermal Solutions has developed electrically conductive bricks that can generate and store high-temperature heat, potentially replacing fossil fuels in industrial processes like steel and cement production. These bricks, which are more durable and cost-effective than traditional electric heaters, could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The company has received substantial government funding to scale up production and deploy their technology commercially.
