Gemini.no: – The world doesn’t realise how much we need CO2 storage

As part of the most recent international climate accord, all nations committed themselves to a reduction in their greenhouse gas emissions. The cuts are intended to ensure that the global temperature will not rise by more than 2 degrees celsius by 2100.

Several ways of cutting emissions exist. The International Energy Agency (IEA) says that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the most important means by which the world can reach its climate targets. This means that we need to be able to both capture CO2 and to store it – securely.

This is what Norway’s new research centre – the Norwegian CCS Research Centre – will help to do. The Centre opened on November 4th 2016, the same day as the Paris Agreement came into effect. Read more on Gemini.no.

Infographic showing the flow of thermal energy storage (TES) from surplus heat or cold to end users. On the left, red and blue thermometer icons represent surplus heat and cooling, accompanied by the text “Surplus heat or cold – Captured and stored for when it’s needed.” In the centre, a large panel titled “Thermal Energy Storage (TES)” presents three storage technologies. The top section, “Sensible TES,” shows a container with a thermometer and the text “Stores heat in one single phase.” The middle section, “Latent TES,” shows a water droplet and snowflake connected by circular arrows, with the text “Stores heat through phase change.” The bottom section, “Thermochemical TES,” shows two connected coloured circles that separate and reconnect, illustrating a reversible reaction, with the text “Stores heat through reversible reactions.” A large pale arrow-shaped wedge points from the TES panel toward the right side of the figure. On the right, three application areas are shown in separate boxes with icons: industrial processes, buildings, and data centres. The layout conveys that surplus heat or cold can be stored using sensible, latent, or thermochemical TES technologies and later supplied to industrial facilities, buildings, and data centres.

Thermal energy storage is already commercial
