ABOUT GLASSPOINT

The leading industrial heat platform

We finance, build, own and operate large-scale solar thermal facilities that deliver industrial steam and process heat to heavy industry, including oil and gas, mining, refining and chemicals, across the world’s sunny regions.

Customers purchase heat under 20-year contracts, securing lower energy costs, predictable long-term pricing and greater energy security.

Our technology is proven at scale, with our flagship Miraah facility in Oman operating since 2017, and our portfolio spans EOR, alumina refining and brine processing.
