project description

The project focuses on developing granulated materials for thermochemical heat storage (TCS), aiming to create efficient and scalable solutions for storing thermal energy. By utilizing granular sorbent materials, such as salt hydrates, the system enables reversible chemical reactions to absorb and release heat with minimal losses. This approach offers high energy density and long-term storage capabilities, making it suitable for applications in residential, industrial, and renewable energy systems. The research emphasizes enhancing material stability, reaction kinetics, and cost-effectiveness while simplifying system integration. This innovation supports the transition to sustainable energy systems by enabling better utilization of intermittent renewable energy sources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
