Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is the storage and recovery of thermal energy in aquifers, which are permeable layers that contain groundwater. ATES systems use 2 or more groundwater wells
Novel thermal energy storage is a technological frontier to improve space and the cost-effectiveness of storing heat and cold. Even though many of
energy storage power capacity requirements at EU level will be approximately 200 GW by 2030 (focusing on energy shifting technologies, and including existing storage capacity
Worldwide, there are currently more than 2800 ATES systems in operation, abstracting more than 2.5 TWh of heating and cooling per year. 99% are low-temperature systems (LT-ATES) with storage temperatures of < 25 °C. 85% of all systems are located in the Netherlands, and a further 10% are found in Sweden, Denmark, and Belgium.
For instance, the building sector accounts for ~40% of the energy consumption and 36%–38% of CO 2 emissions in both Europe and America [1, 2]. The applications of seasonal thermal energy storage (STES) facilitate the replacement of fossil fuel-based heat supply by alternative heat sources, such as solar thermal energy,
Thermal Energy Storage. EASE has prepared an analysis that aims to shed light on the numerous benefits of thermal energy storage (TES) by providing an overview of technologies, inspiring projects, business
Considers thermal storage (such as large-scale boilers) and district heating in densely populated areas to be a very efficient tool for energy storage providing the
Thermal energy storage (TES) is increasingly important due to the demand-supply challenge caused by the intermittency of renewable energy and waste
Thermal energy storage (TES) can support the transition of our energy system to sustainable and renewable sources in multiple ways: TES (mostly water tanks) is a
The EU''s European Investment Bank has pledged support for a long-duration thermal energy storage project and a gravity-based energy storage demonstration project. They have been selected among 15 projects defined as large-scale — each requiring capital costs of more than €7.5 million (US$8.5 million) — through EU
1. Introduction. The built environment accounts for a large proportion of worldwide energy consumption, and consequently, CO 2 emissions. For instance, the building sector accounts for ~40% of the energy consumption and 36%–38% of CO 2 emissions in both Europe and America [1, 2].Space heating and domestic hot water
"Through energy storage, electrical grid peak demand can be lowered by shifting demand to night time when the demand is lower and within high supply time zones, but energy storage power capacity requirements for 2030 and 2050 are underrepresented or underestimated in many studies", warned Margareta Roncevic, Policy Officer at the

Thermal energy storage has many profitable use cases for industry. ENERGYNEST''s renewable storage technology captures power, heat or steam and repurposes it as on-demand clean energy: maximizing your energy flexibility, security and decarbonization. Our ThermalBattery™ delivers attractive returns by reducing plant operating costs, creating
EASE has prepared a paper that aims to shed light on the numerous benefits of thermal energy storage (TES) by providing an overview of technologies, inspiring projects, business cases, and revenue streams. Policy recommendations are also discussed. With renewable energy projected to constitute 69% of the EU''s electricity mix by 2030, TES
On 22 November, an EHPA webinar discussed the role of thermal storage technology in Europe''s energy communities, unlocking challenges and
Each outlook identifies technology-, industry- and policy-related challenges and assesses the potential breakthroughs needed to accelerate the uptake. Thermal energy storage (TES) can help to integrate high shares of renewable energy in power generation, industry and buildings. This outlook identifies priorities for research and development.
ENERGYNEST. A White Paper recently launched identifies that the use of thermal energy storage in industrial processes could reduce carbon emissions across Europe by as much as 513Mt per
Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) involves the temporary storage of thermal energy in the subsurface. When excess heat is available this is transferred to a fluid and stored in the subsurface, and when the heat demand is high the stored heat is retrieved. Key high temperature UTES (HT-UTES) technologies were addressed in the HEATSTORE
Well-known early, pre-industrial applications of long-term thermal energy storage were subsurface depots of ice used to conserve food. The recent history of closed seasonal TES (Fig. 3) can be traced back to 1959, when Ref. [20] presented a first technically sophisticated attempt for seasonal storage of thermal energy in subsurface
EU energy storage initiatives are key for energy security and the transition toward a carbon-neutral economy, improving energy efficiency, and
More than 30% of Germany''s final energy consumption currently results from thermal energy for heating and cooling in the building sector. One possibility to achieve significant greenhouse gas emission savings in space heating and cooling is the application of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) systems. Hence, this study maps
A White Paper recently launched identifies that the use of thermal energy storage in industrial processes could reduce carbon emissions across Europe by as much as 513Mt per year. The White Paper "Industrial Thermal Energy Storage – Supporting the transition to decarbonise industry" has been produced by the European
