  1. love both #energyStorage and #sand :,D

    "#PolarNightEnergy has built an industrial-scale sand battery in Pornainen #Finland. The #battery is set to reduce #carbonemissions from the local #heating network by as much as 70%. At 42 feet tall and 50 feet wide, the battery can store up to 100 MWh, enough to heat the whole town for a week. The #sandbattery can hold a charge for months at a time, helping balance the energy #grid during periods of high demand."

  2. #Zukunft des #Heizens:

    #Specksteinspeicher trotzt dem #finnischen #Winter

    Ein #Wärmespeicher, der #Strom dann umwandelt, wenn er verfügbar ist, reduziert den Verbrauch an #fossilen Brennstoffen auf null. Der Aufbau ist simpel.

    Im finnischen #Pornainen ist durch das Start-up #PolarNightEnergy ein Wärmespeicher installiert worden, der in das #regionale #Fernwärmenetz integriert ist. Er konserviert die Wärme in 2.000 Tonnen #Speckstein und kann diese über längere Zeit...

  3. Sand battery to store wind, solar energy using soapstone

    Storing 100 MWh of thermal energy from solar & wind

    It will eliminate oil from their district heating network

    The battery’s thermal energy storage capacity equates to almost one month’s heat demand in summer and a one-week demand in winter in Pornainen
