Nanolope

About

Founded in 2024, Nanolope is a private headquartered in Berlin, Germany with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Energy Storage, Other.

Nanolope is a deep-tech startup specializing in novel thermal energy storage systems based on organic phase change materials (PCM). The company has developed Nanolope PCM, a form-stabilized, bio-based phase change material encapsulated in a three-dimensional nanoporous sponge structure that solves mechanical stability issues faced by previous PCM implementations. The material stores latent heat efficiently without significant efficiency loss over extended periods (up to 70 years), making it suitable for residential and commercial building applications. Applications include hot water storage tanks (3 times smaller than conventional systems), heating modules, and integration into building envelopes (ceiling panels, wall materials) to regulate indoor temperatures passively. The technology fulfills 9 of 12 Green Chemistry principles and uses renewable, recyclable materials with no rare earth elements. Nanolope PCM can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50% in homes and save approximately 450 kg CO2 per year per 600-liter water storage tank. The company has secured €700,000 in pre-seed funding and is expanding partnerships with producers, real estate developers, and renewable energy integrators. Founded in 2024 at Technical University Berlin under the EXIST Research Transfer program, the team combines expertise in materials science, chemical engineering, production scaling, and business development.
