Storworks’ thermal energy storage (TES) system is designed to provide maximum flexibility for a wide range of applications. The concrete TES can be charged from steam, waste heat, or resistively heated air, depending on application. Energy can then be stored for hours or days with minimal losses..
This is a brand new product jointly developed by TCC Low-carbon R&D Center and the Taiwan Construction Research Institute UHPC has greater compressive strength, toughness and durability than traditional concrete, with a life cycle up to 100 years, promoting the new use of low-carbon construction. .
Rondo Energy and Siam Cement Group subsidiary SCG Cleanergy have begun construction of a Rondo Heat Battery (RHB), configured to convert solar power into continuous zero carbon heat at 1,000°C or higher levels for the SCG cement plant in Saraburi Province, Thailand. The unit is poised to become the. .
The cement industry is widely regarded as a hard-to-abate sector due to its reliance on high-temperature heat, needed to drive essential chemical reactions. With cement contributing up to 8% of global CO₂ emissions, reducing reliance on fossil fuels is critical. Rondo’s thermal storage solution. .
Considering temperatures above 150 °C, there are major potential benefits for applications, such as process heat and electricity production, where TES coupled with concentrating solar power (CSP) plants can increase the penetration of renewable energies. To this end, this paper performs a critical. .
Concrete has been used widely since Roman times, with a track record of providing cheap, durable material for structures ranging from the Colosseum to the Hoover Dam. Now it is being developed for a new purpose: cost-effective, large-scale energy storage. EPRI and storage developer Storworks Power.
