When talking about the energy transition, the focus is on the provision and distribution of electricity. However, the fact that a large proportion of the energy consumed in Germany is heating and process heat is sometimes overlooked. The project "Development of pressureless heat storagefor the efficient use of industrial waste heat- EDWENIA" addresses this issue and will make an important contribution to the so-called heat transition with the development of dual-material heat storage systems.
Work on the EDWENIA project began in summer 2023 with intensive material screening. Now, the ceremonial commissioning of the new heat storage test facility lays the foundations for the subsequent testing of practical heat storage demonstrators. It is unique far beyond the country's borders. On March 25, 2024, you will have the opportunity to take part in guided tours of the test facilities.
The new test stand was financed by investment funds from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The research project is being supported by the HSZG through the Life & Technology Alliance.
