Toshiba, Marubeni launch rock-based thermal energy storage tech pilot

Innovations in thermal energy storage is seeing significant action. And here’s one from Toshiba & Marubeni. A pilot project that these two Japanese giants have developed uses materials such as crushed stone, bricks, molten salt, concrete, and ceramics to store the heat and appears that it can store heat at temperatures above 700 C. That’s interesting!

Can thermal storage fire up the net-zero transition?

This detailed analysis in Energy Monitor analyzes an important domain within energy storage – thermal storage. While storage brings to mind batteries (electrochemical storage) most of the time, there are many other energy storage avenues – mechanical storage (think hydroelectric power plants and pumped storage, or even flywheels), chemical storage (power can be converted to hydrogen which can then act […]

CO3 stands for CO2 Opportunities. The CO3 section @ CliDemy is all about the business and commercial opportunities arising out of climate action. Get to know insights, updates and perspectives on the current & emerging opportunities arising out of decarbonization & climate action.

Solar Powered Cold Chains – CO3 @ CliDemy

The food sector is a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. And its emissions will only grow as the global population expands, especially from the southern hemisphere. While a number of avenues are being tried out to reduce emissions during cultivation – and rightly so, as a majority of emissions are from this phase – the post harvest portion of […]

Security for Renewable Energy Power Plants – CO3 @ CliDemy

Conventional power plants – coal, natural gas, hydroelectric – are large, centralized structures with heavy machineries and equipment. These are hardly stuff that one can expect to be stolen – can you imagine someone trying to lift off a 10,000 ton boiler from a coal power plant! Renewable energy power plants – especially solar power plants – are quite the […]

The surging interest in Napier Grass

Napier grass, also called Elephant grass and Uganda grass, is a species of perennial tropical grass, a native of the African grasslands. As it has low water and nutrient requirements, it can be grown in many areas with ease. It has been used as a fodder crop for silage in many tropical and subtropical countries. But all these still do […]
