HeatSource Champion Sunamp win VIBES Scottish Environment Business Award
Sunamp has been recognised with a VIBES Scottish Environment Business Award.
Sunamp's thermal storage solutions won the Product Scotland category at the VIBES Awards on Wednesday 8th November 2023. The awards celebrate the link between economic success and sustainability.
HeatSource Champion, Sunamp is a pioneer of innovative thermal storage solutions. The company was founded in 2005 with ambitions to transform how heat is generated, stored and used, to tackle climate change and reach net zero.
Sunamp designs and manufactures compact heat batteries containing Plentigrade, its patented high performance phase change material. These thermal batteries are compatible with nearly any energy source and facilitate highly efficient low-carbon heating and cooling in buildings.
The Thermino range by Sunamp has the capability to store energy from renewable sources. These heat batteries are over four times smaller compared to equivalent hot water cylinders.
In April of this year, the company received the first Kings Award for Enterprise, acknowledging excellence in innovation.
Sunamp CEO Andrew Bissell said:
“Winning the VIBES Product Scotland award recognises the hard work which has gone into developing our innovative thermal storage solutions, over many years.
‘We achieved the breakthrough behind our game-changing phase change materials in the early 2010s and brought our heat battery products to market in 2018. Over 25,000 units have been delivered so far, helping decarbonise hot water in homes and businesses.
‘I'm proud of our strong roots in Scotland and our journey to becoming world leaders in thermal storage technologies. The award recognises everyone who has been part of this.”
The VIBES Scottish Environment Business Awards celebrate the efforts of companies working to reduce pressure on the planet's resources, accelerate action towards net zero, and reinforce the symbiotic relationship between the economy and the environment.
