After Spain has surprised us by betting on the renewal, he now wants to continue to lead the market for renewable energy consumption with a new discovery that, Would allow them a saving of 70% of the energyBut what is it about?
The increase in the demand for energy
Over the years, the demand for energy has increased dramatically to the global level and Spain is no exception. However, this increase has major consequences on economic and environmental level.
A greater demand implies higher economic costs and in turn a larger environment impact Due to the use of unconventional energy sources.
In this context and to find solutions, Spain has had to evaluate various alternatives to save energy and apparently they found one that exceeds expectations.
Spain has found the solution
It’s about it DARTHERM PROJECTAn initiative supported by The Valencian Institute of Competitiveness and Innovation (IVACE + I) and financed by European Regional Development Funds (Feder).
This project is tailored to the European strategy that sets the objective to reduce emissions by 40%, which promotes the increase in the renewable energy quota by 32%and improves energy efficiency by 32.5%.
This idea is to disconnect industrial buildings and processes that require highly thermal energy consumption, using innovative technologies such as thermal storage.
Energy storage: an innovative technology
Thermal energy storage is a technology that benefits from renewable electricity, which is transformed and stored at temperatures that can reach 1300 ° C.
Now a new report published by Kraftblockrecognized world manufacturer in the field of thermal energy storage and the consultant of clean technologies, Ecotor It has shown the great benefits that are offered by thermal energy storage in Spain.
To do this, the researchers validated a model that could characterize thermal demand in various industrial processes and environments. Moreover, they designed a methodology for generating dimensions with thermal storage and evaluated the effects on economic and environmental level.
Martin Schichtel, CEO and Kraftblock Co -Founder, explained the following: «The report analyzes the economic benefits of thermal energy storage and its role in the stabilization of electrical networks in different markets. It also emphasizes that thermal storage is the most profitable solution and is twice more efficient than hydrogen to decrease heat heat at high temperature ».
Promising results for Spain
As a result for Spain, this was demonstrated Industries can lower their energy costs to 70 % Since, by using storage to transfer the energy of low or negative prices periods to moments of larger demand, companies can minimize their operational costs.
This innovation will undoubtedly have a very significant impact for the Spanish energy industry, especially in the economic area, thanks to the surprising percentage of savings, which will considerably compensate for the large increase in the demand for electricity.
Great progress in sustainability
On the other hand, this system will be great progress for the sustainability and goals of renewable energy, because the thermal energy storage is based on the use of renewable energy sources, reducing the use of fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gas.
«The widespread acceptance of thermal energy storage is not only technological progress; It is a need to guarantee the sustainability of energy and industrial systems »said Susanne König, co -founder of Kraftblock.
He finally added that: “As the energy panorama evolves, the integration of this technology will be the key to building a more sustainable, efficient and resilient future for all market factors”
In conclusion, thermal energy storage is an innovative technology that would bring about a revolution in the energy industry, as well as the project where billion liters of water turned into energy.
