Tempo is building a new class of thermochemical energy storage systems (TCES) that make electrified industrial heat practical at scale. Its modular, containerized systems store electricity both as heat and chemistry at temperatures up to 1450°C, delivering the same firepower as fossil-fueled boilers via simple plug and play. Designed for rapid charging when power is abundant and flexible discharge when it’s needed most, Tempo unlocks a new platform for industrial energy. Backed by Prelude Ventures, Khosla Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Imperative Ventures, and New System Ventures, Tempo is pioneering the future of industrial energy storage from its headquarters in San Diego.
