GIGAette has been selected for the Deep-Tech track of TIPS R&D. The Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs (TIPA) notified the final selection results for the third round on September 30, 2025.
Developing a low-carbon thermal energy platform
The project develops a low-carbon thermal energy platform based on a single-tank thermal battery with constant-temperature output. It will advance IsoTES® technology and expand its industrial applications through research and demonstration using heat-storage media across different temperature ranges.
The R&D period runs for 36 months, from September 2025 to August 2028. Government R&D support is KRW 1.5 billion. Including GIGAette’s contribution, the total R&D budget is approximately KRW 2 billion.
The work covers medium- and low-temperature and high-temperature thermal batteries, alongside integration with heat sources and heat-delivery equipment. Its goal is to help industry use waste heat and renewable energy.
