6 FAQs about [European steam energy storage equipment]
What does the European Commission say about energy storage?
The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a staff working document, providing an outlook of the EU’s current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.
Why is energy storage important in the EU?
It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.
Which countries have pumped energy storage capacity?
Europe and China are leading the installation of new pumped storage capacity – fuelled by the motion of water. Batteries are now being built at grid-scale in countries including the US, Australia and Germany. Thermal energy storage is predicted to triple in size by 2030. Mechanical energy storage harnesses motion or gravity to store electricity.
Can latent heat storage be used in industrial production of superheated steam?
Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using latent heat storage in the industrial production of superheated steam. Thermal energy is used for residential purposes, but also for processing steam and other production needs in industrial processes.
What are examples of thermal energy storage systems?
Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks - can store thermal energy. Chemical reactions or changes in materials can also be used to store and release thermal energy. Water tanks in buildings are simple examples of thermal energy storage systems.
How much energy storage capacity does the EU need?
These studies point to more than 200 GW and 600 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030 and 2050 respectively (from roughly 60 GW in 2022, mainly in the form of pumped hydro storage). The EU needs a strong, sustainable, and resilient industrial value chain for energy-storage technologies.
