Minkay
Hot for change
Here at Minkay, heating up the energy transition- it's hot carbon
Founding idea
Minkay is all about to answer a simple question: How could we utilize CO2 into a product that everybody needs?
There is no better place to start with heating. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and contributes heavily to global warming. CO2 has the natural property to interact with heat, thermal energy. If CO2 could heat up water, air and that thermal energy could be stored, then CO2 could be used for everyone.
The final twist for Minkays startup idea was, when a neighbor right next to me (founder) installed solar panels on his roof. He didn't purchase Lithium-ion batteries for price reasons. Maybe CO2 could store the abundant solar energy in the form of heat, like a battery.
After evaluation different possibles, it turned out that carbon, is the material to build Minkay thermal battery.
