Emerald Horizon says molten salt storage gains energy

Emerald Horizon AG has announced new study results showing that molten salt storage can use latent heat from solidification to increase energy output. - Researchers from TU Graz and Emerald Horizon AG found the storage system can deliver around 6% more energy from the same volume, with the study published on 13 October in the journal Energies.

• The results apply to CALstore, the thermal storage unit in DUALstorePLUS; the company says the thermal module for temperatures up to 550°C is scheduled for 2028, while the battery part is already available. The study was funded by FFG as part of the CALstore project.
