A growing need to store excess renewable energy is driving Australia to look at a range of storage plants and technologies. The region requires a lot of reliable and affordable energy storage, from batteries and other sources, not just because it must push hard to hit its climate goals but also because it has a …
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Thermal Energy Storage (TES) are increasingly being recognized as cost-effective solutions for the world’s growing energy needs. These technologies, which harness the power of the sun and store it for later use, offer a sustainable and economical alternative to traditional fossil fuels. CSP, in particular, is a form of solar …

The government of Spain is launching €280 million (US$310 million) in grants for standalone energy storage projects, thermal energy storage and reversible pumped hydro to go online in 2026. The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) opened a public consultation into the grant scheme last month seeking comments on the proposal …

Storenergy has developed a thermal energy storage (TES) solution that uses recycled ceramics as the storage medium. It says its solid-state storage solution is designed to ensure long lifespans and low maintenance costs. Storenergy’s pilot project is a 3 MWh TES system deployed at the CIEMAT institute in Spain. Image: Storenergy Although TES has largely …

Abstract The optical absorptance of calcium-based composites used in direct solar-driven calcium-looping thermochemical energy storage systems should be improved. Experimental data obtained by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) cannot adequately describe the realistic performance of such calcium-based composites. In this work, calcium-based composites filled in a fixed bed reactor were directly irradiated by concentrated sunlight to examine …
