Energy Storage Insights

• Decarbonization

  Decarbonization refers to the shift away from carbon, especially in the energy sector but also in the economy in general.

• Decarbonization in Industry

  Achieving the target set in 2010 and combating climate change in general can only be realized if the energy-rich industrial sectors significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

• Energy Storage

  There is a wide variety of energy storage devices, which are used for different purposes. A distinction is made between thermal energy storage, mechanical and thermomechanical energy storage, electrical energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, chemical energy storage and thermochemical storage.

• High-temperature energy storage

  High-temperature energy storage systems, or more precisely high-temperature heat storage systems, are a subgroup of heat storage systems.

• Thermal Energy Storage

  Thermal energy storage (also called heat storage), is of great importance in terms of regenerative and efficient energy supply, especially for the decarbonisation of industry.

• Thermal Energy Storage Systems / TES

  In the field of energy storage, the following classes are distinguished: mechanical and thermomechanical energy storage, electrical energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, chemical energy storage and thermal energy storage.

• Waste heat utilisation

  A recurrent obstacle in the implementation of waste heat utilisation is the fact that waste heat is usually available in the form of exhaust gases.
