Heated Bricks: Replacing Gas Boilers in Germany & California
Germany and California are reviving an old concept with a modern twist: heated bricks. By storing renewable energy as heat in thermal bricks, industries can replace traditional gas-fired boilers. It’s a low-tech, high-impact solution for decarbonizing heavy industrial processes.

World's first '#SandBattery' can store heat at 500C for months at a time. Could it work in Australia?
By technology reporter James Purtill
Mon 18 Jul 2022Excerpt: "Polar Night Energy's chief executive officer Markku Ylönen said the entire battery could be built in "any steel workshop".
" 'It's really a typical #silo with nothing that special,' he said.
"To discharge the stored #ThermalEnergy, air is circulated through pipes in the sand where it's heated, then directed, to wherever it's needed.
"Right now, that's mostly heating homes, but it could also be used for high-temperature industrial processes, Mr Ylönen said."

#AI and [#ComputerChip] Manufacturing Drive #Japan's #Nuclear Energy Expansion
By ZeroHedge - Dec 11, 2024- Japan's #Shimane nuclear reactor has restarted for the first time since the 2011 #Fukushima disaster, marking a significant step in the country's renewed embrace of nuclear power.
- Tech giants like #Meta are actively seeking nuclear power solutions to meet the growing energy demands of their #DataCenters and AI initiatives.
- The global resurgence of #NuclearPower is driven by factors such as increasing energy needs, the push for decarbonization, and advancements in nuclear technology."The world continues to 'warm' back up to nuclear, with the latest example coming out of Japan, where its Shimane nuclear power station in western Japan has been restarted for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima meltdown.
"Japan's long-delayed restart of the 820 MW No. 2 reactor at the Shimane plant, shut down since January 2012, raises the number of operational reactors to 14, with a total capacity of 13,253 MW, according to Reuters.
"#TohokuElectricPower also recently resumed operations of its 825 MW No. 2 reactor at the #Onagawa plant, reducing Japan's reliance on liquefied natural gas and thermal coal.
"Reuters writes that the expanded use of nuclear energy is expected to support Japan's growing power needs, particularly for #semiconductor plants and AI-driven #DataCenters."

GOOD! Japanese #Nuclear Reactor Disqualified Under Post-#Fukushima Safety Standards
Published Nov 13, 2024
"#Japan's nuclear regulator has disqualified the country's #Tsuruga No. 2 reactor from restarting for the first time under post-Fukushima safety standards.
"The #NuclearRegulationAuthority (NRA) announced Wednesday that #JapanAtomicPower Co. had failed to adequately address potential #SeismicRisks from active fault lines near the reactor, located in #FukuiPrefecture.
"The decision is a setback for Japan's energy policy, which aims to expand nuclear power to bolster energy stability and meet carbon neutral goals.
"'We reached our conclusion based on a very strict examination,' said NRA Chairperson Shinsuke Yamanaka. He called the eight-year review process 'abnormal' due to frequent disruptions from data inaccuracies and errors by Japan Atomic Power Co."
