THE FUTURE OF HEAT STORAGE & UTILISATION
STOREDGE is a cutting-edge EU-funded research project redefining how we store and use heat. By developing a novel thermochemical storage and upgrading system, the project aims to empower industrial sectors with efficient, long-duration, and scalable energy solutions that support a carbon-neutral future.
The technology stores heat in chemical bonds, enabling indefinite storage with no thermal losses and releasing it at much higher temperatures for industrial processes or efficient power cycles.
STOREDGE envisions an energy system where industrial users can reliably store renewable or waste heat and recover it when needed—upgraded to higher temperatures for maximum efficiency. This vision enables cost-effective, clean, and flexible power generation across Europe’s most energy-intensive sectors.
Our mission is to validate a first-of-its-kind thermochemical energy storage system that can meet long-duration storage needs while delivering high-temperature heat with minimal losses.
With its modular design and compatibility with various energy sources like solar thermal and green electricity, STOREDGE offers a promising route to industrial decarbonisation and grid flexibility.
Design and test a TRL 4 thermochemical system that stores medium-temperature heat for days to seasons without degradation.
Enable efficient power cycles and industrial applications by upgrading stored heat to high temperatures using water vapor pressure manipulation.
Deliver a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to fossil fuel-based heating and power generation systems.
We design, build, and test a compact thermochemical storage prototype under relevant laboratory conditions to validate its potential in industrial environments.
hydroxide, we engineer optimal materials for storing heat via chemical bonds at ambient temperatures.
We assess scalability up to hundreds of MWh and flexibility for various industrial and renewable energy integration scenarios.
Showcasing our accomplishments, we engage in activities to present, explain, disseminate, and provide visibility to project results. Our efforts transcend borders, reaching stakeholders, policymakers, and the public to underscore the positive influence of Going Live! on the seasonal tourism employment landscape.
Through targeted outreach, we share our progress and achievements to inspire wide adoption of sustainable storage technologies across Europe.
