Energy that is stored chemically in Al may reach 23.5 MWh/m 3. Power-to-Al can be used for storing solar or other renewable energy in aluminium. Hydrogen and heat can be produced at low temperatures from aluminium and water. ≈500 kg Al are needed for a 100% solar PV supplied dwelling in Central Europe.
Although it is possible that first systems for seasonal energy storage with aluminium may run as early as 2022, a large scale application is more likely from the year 2030 onward.
Dudita M, Farchado M, Englert A, Carbonell D, Haller M. Heat and power storage using aluminium for low and zero energy buildings. In: Proceedings CLIMA 2019 -13th REHVA World Congress, Bucharest, Romania: 2019, p. 1–6, accepted for publication. US DOE. Fuel Cell Technologies Market Report 2015. 2016.
Aluminium can be used to produce hydrogen and heat in reactions that yield 0.11 kg H 2 and, depending on the reaction, 4.2–4.3 kWh of heat per kg Al. Thus, the volumetric energy density of Al (23.5 MWh/m 3) 1 outperforms the energy density of hydrogen or hydrocarbons, including heating oil, by a factor of two (Fig. 3).
