Researchers at Switzerland''s Empa research institute are working on a possible way to stockpile summer''s heat for the cold days of winter thanks to a chemical process.
Substituting fossil fuels with renewable energies will not be feasible without a notable expansion of seasonal energy storage. Seasonal thermal energy storages (STES) are expected to
Microbiological studies were performed to help understand the behaviour of the aquifer microflora to an increase in temperature and possible other changes provoked by the aquifer''s
Recently, chemical-heat storage (CHS) has attracted increasing attention. This significant interest can be attributed to the enormous demand for renewable energy and the specific advantages of

Recent contributions to thermochemical heat storage (TCHS) technology have been reviewed and have revealed that there are four main branches whose mastery could
The chemical storage online training provides the basic storage rules and EPFL guidelines, and gives you some tips on how to best organise the storage of your chemicals.
In such a scenario, sorption and chemical reaction-based storage systems can enable a further feature: long-term heat storage. The thermo-chemical technology is based on the reversible reaction occurring
The study of thermochemical ES using chemical heat pump (CHP) was pioneered by Swedish and Swiss researchers [2, 3] in the 1970s. In Germany, a long-distance
Thermal storage technology plays an important role in improving the flexibility of the global energy storage system, achieving stable output of renewable energy, and improving energy utilization efficiency.
Heat Storage at SPEOS (Swiss ATES Pilot Plant): Chemical and Microbiological Aspects and Problems 929052 The Swiss ATES pilot plant,SPEOS, is located in Lausanne
A heat storage system based on that chemical reaction is behind testing taking place at the Swiss Federal Laboratory for Materials Testing and Research, known as Empa.
Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) allows low-carbon and/or low-cost heat to be stored until the demand for heat rises, usually in the winter. ATES stores waste heat (e.g. from a power
The implementation of the SCCERs was finacially supported and supervised by the Innosuisse - Swiss Innovation Agency. The declared aim of this energy strategy is the transition from
Thermal energy storage is a necessary technology for the application of renewable energy and low-grade thermal energy. Chemical heat storage has been proved to be a feasible and
Thermal energy (i.e. heat and cold) can be stored as sensible heat in heat stor-age media, as latent heat associated with phase change materials (PCMs) or as thermo-chemical energy
Which storage solution fits best to your application? Together we will quantify the potential of thermal energy storage systems for your application and estimate the cost, emission and
Thermo-chemical Storage One of three possible approaches to thermal energy storage is to use reversible thermo-chemical reactions. The most important advantage of the
Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) allows low-carbon and/or low-cost heat to be stored until the demand for heat rises, usually in the winter. ATES stores waste heat (e.g. from a power plant, industrial process, or
The thermal energy storage (TES) technology has gained so much popularity in recent years as a practical way to close the energy supply–demand gap. Due to its higher energy storage density and long
Thermochemical energy storage (TCES) is considered the third fundamental method of heat storage, along with sensible and latent heat storage. TCES concepts use
The chemical heat storage was systematically reviewed based on its classifications, characteristics and applications. The promising chemical heat storage materials were
Reactor design for thermochemical storage depends on whether the configuration is intended for direct or indirect solar heating, and it must be adapted to the specific solid-gas
In thermochemical energy storage system, the energy is stored after a breaking or dissociation reaction of chemical bonds at the molecular level which releases energy and then recovered in
SusChem Switzerland is the Swiss entity of the SusChem European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry. We bring together the unique diversity of Swiss leading academic
