Head of Research and Development
Saltes
Netherlands
Strongly driven by bringing technology to the market, especially in the (renewable) energy sector. Experience in solar and storage systems.
Since 2024, head of research and development at Saltes. Hannes has a PhD degree in engineering from Valladolid University (Spain) and an MSc. Degree in Electromechanical engineering from Ghent University (Belgium). Hannes has over 20 years of experience as a researcher and project manager in the energy industry, mostly in combustion, thermodynamics and energy storage.
My organisation
Saltes builds technology for the industry based on molten salts, with a focus on technologies that accelerate the energy transition by enabling the electrification of heat intensive processes. Therefore, we have developed a thermal storage system able to store salts at elevated temperature (up to 500°C), which are heated by electricity. The discharge system converts this hot salt into a hot fluid which transfers the heat to the client’s industrial process (typically this is steam).
