We develop and produce ice storage tanks for a sustainable cooling supply
sp.ICE GmbH is an innovative ice storage manufacturer that develops highly efficient storage solutions for heating and cooling systems. Our goal is to offer the most efficient cold storage for the widest possible range of applications. To achieve this, we use the natural storage capacity of ice to store excess energy from solar and wind power plants in order to efficiently cool buildings and processes when demand is at its highest.
Energy storage systems are the crucial link between the utilization of renewable energy sources, which are not available on a stable basis, and a consistently high demand for energy. With our ice storage systems, energy from the sun and wind can be used to freeze water into ice, which is then used at a later point in time to generate cooling. This reduces the use of electricity-intensive chillers even when energy from the sun or wind is not available.
sp.ICE stands for “Speedy & Powerful Ice Storage”. The high-performance ice storage systems we manufacture are versatile and relatively easy to integrate. Possible applications include: the optimal use of renewable energy for cooling offices, industrial processes, and data centers; covering peak loads in cooling demand; and reducing electricity consumption for cooling with the associated CO2 savings.
Ice storage integration into energy systems
sp.ICE GmbH is not only a specialized ice storage company. Our team has many years of experience in the planning and implementation of innovative and sustainable energy systems. We create the technically and economically suitable refrigeration solution for each individual project, tailored to the resources available on site and the specific requirements of our customers.
Our scope of supply includes the ice thermal energy storage unit, the hydraulic connection as well as the I&C and connection to the building management system.

Innovative cooling systems in cooperation with research
In dialog with research centers and scientists in the fields of geology, energy and building technology, our ice energy storage company keeps abreast of the latest developments and converts this knowledge to highly-efficient cooling systems. We use specially developed software to optimize our systems both energetically and economically.
Sustainability is the cornerstone of all our business activities. We design all projects with sustainability in mind. As a member of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB e.V.), which promotes sustainable construction with a certification system for buildings and neighborhoods, our company is committed to this idea.
What our clients say
Full air conditioning was planned for the renovation of an office building. The existing power supply was not sufficient for the required cooling capacity at peak times. Rather than having to make costly upgrades to the existing power supply, the ice storage system offered a cost-effective and quick way of ensuring the required peak cooling capacity. With the support of sp.ICE GmbH, the renovation was successfully completed on time and on budget.
