Oxford-Engineered Breakthrough Solar Thermal Platform

Turning sunlight into 24/7, high-grade industrial heat

Odqa’s modular air-receiver solar tower delivers continuous heat — up to 800 °C today, lab-validated to 1200 °C — using only sunlight, air, and thermal storage. Built to replace fossil flames in the world’s most carbon-intensive sectors.

Oxford-Engineered Breakthrough Solar Thermal Platform

Odqa's solar thermal platform replaces fossil fuels in industrial processes:

Resilient, Scalable & Cost-Effective

Lower lifetime cost than gas or hydrogen in sun-rich regions, without carbon liabilities or volatile fuel prices.

Drop-In, Retrofit-Ready Design

Odqa replaces fossil flames directly — no process redesign, no new infrastructure. Our solution seamlessly integrates with rotary dryers, kilns, and other industrial systems.

Always-On, High-Temperature Heat

Our solution stores heat in high-density rock beds, delivering continuous, high-temperature energy — day and night.

Proven Oxford Technology

Odqa’s patented rotating air-based receiver is inspired by jet engine turbine systems, developed at Oxford Thermofluids Institute. Our system achieves record-setting solar-to-heat efficiency and delivers combustion-grade performance — using nothing but air.
