Did you know that thermal energy makes up over half of the world’s final energy use? Thermal energy storage (TES) is crucial for today’s energy systems to achieve climate targets.

The Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Cluster invites you to a webinar featuring experts from our four EU-funded projects: ECHO, BEST-Storage, HYSTORE, and ThumbsUp. These projects are all working towards a cleaner and more resilient Europe by advancing energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, and sustainability.

In this webinar, you’ll gain insights on:

  • Stakeholder engagement in TES projects
  • Challenges and opportunities in TES implementation
  • Lessons learned from leading EU-funded initiatives

Don’t miss this chance to learn from the experts and explore the role of TES in achieving a sustainable future!

Speakers:​

  • BEST Storage – Hugo Grasset – SOLINTEL 
  • Hystore – Agatino Nicita, CNR 
  • ECHO – Maria Chiesa, beWarrant 
  • ThumbsUp – Stefano Barberis, University of Genova or Niall Farrell

Further informaton on the projects revolutionizing TES technology:

  • ECHO Project 
  • Objective: Provide a key tool for thermal energy storage in the context of sector coupling and provision of flexibility of demand
  • Duration: Four years
  • BEST-Storage Project:
  • Objective: Develop efficient energy storage solutions for buildings.
  • Significance: Reducing peak energy demand and optimizing renewables.
  • HYSTORE Project:
  • Objective: Enhance compact thermal energy storage technologies.
  • Solutions: Latent heat TES combined with heat pumps.
  • ThumbsUp Project:
  • Objective: Innovate TES solutions integrated into buildings.
  • Focus Areas: Energy density, digital innovations, and simulation optimization

Your insights and participation are invaluable to us as we strive to foster collaborative efforts towards a sustainable energy future.

Watt's next webinar: the shift to an electric and efficient net zero industry

Industrial heat remains a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for two-thirds of industrial energy demand.  Electrifying heat through clean and efficient technologies such as heat pumps and the Organic Rankine Cycle - a means of converting low-temperature heat into electricity through an organic fluid - is critical for reducing emissions and improving  Europe's energy security.
