DEEP INDUSTRIAL DECARBONIZATION BY MEANS OF PV-DRIVEN GRID-RESPONSIVE REDOX HEAT BATTERY

Objective

There is an urgent need to decarbonize industrial thermal processes through electrification while increasing the share of variable renewable electricity—a transition that places unprecedented stress on electrical grid infrastructure. Europe’s grid will not be capable—within the next decade—of supplying the massive additional electrical power required to electrify high temperature heat in energy intensive industries. Heat pumps, while effective for lowtemperature applications, cannot reach the very high temperatures (>200–300 °C) needed by sectors such as paper, chemicals, food, or ceramics. As a result, hybrid systems combining direct electrification with sustainable biomass are essential to achieve full decarbonisation at large scale without compromising industrial operations. To maintain electrical grid stability while integrating higher shares of intermittent renewable electricity, advanced gridresponsive high temperature thermal energy storage solutions are indispensable. DEEP HEAT addresses this challenge aiming at deeply decarbonizing industrial process heat by integrating a novel thermochemical RedoX Thermal Energy Storage (RxTES), onsite renewable generation, biomass boilers, and advanced digital optimisation tools. The project targets energy intensive industries, where high temperature hot air and steam remain dominated by fossil fuels.
