Variable and intermittend renewable energy – balanced by the thermal energy technology

In an interview with the German daily, Die Welt, prominent physicist Dr. Eicke Weber called for stepping up the construction of wind and solar power plants in places where energy is needed.

 

He argued that distributed power plants could reduce costs for consumers. For our CEO Dr. Christian Thiel, this idea does not go far enough. Of course distributed wind and solar plants absolutely make sense,” says Thiel. “To ensure a sustainable contribution to the energy transition, it is absolutely essential not only to have local power plants but also the storage capacity to match. That is the only way to ensure the sensible use of locally generated power and create a viable alternative to fossil power plants for the long term.”

ENERGYNEST, the global leader in thermal storage, has signed a commercial agreement with LEONHARD KURZ, a world-leading family business in thin-film technology, to implement an innovative power-to-heat solution with thermal storage.

Companies that do not electrify their processes risk rising costs, regulatory hurdles, and competitive disadvantages. Power-to-heat offers an efficient solution to reduce energy costs and ensure the future viability of production.

Despite its high recycling rate, the paper industry faces major challenges, particularly in the energy-intensive production process. Thermal energy storage systems can play a key role here by efficiently utilising renewable energy and supporting the implementation of sustainable production methods.
