CM2023-06/10a Integrated Sorption Thermal batteries for innovative building electrification solutions

The global energy landscape is undergoing a major shift, driven primarily by the imperative to combat climate change and move toward a renewable future. As Europe faces the urgent need to reduce its dependence on gas heating, thermal electrification is emerging as a key strategy to meet these challenges and diversify energy portfolios. However, the increasing adoption of electric heating solutions, including heat pumps, is expected to result in high demand for electricity, particularly during peak periods and harsh winter months. In this context, there is an urgent need for efficient and reliable energy storage systems. After establishing multiple prototypes that highlight the superior performance of the sorption thermal batteries based on advanced working materials, this project aims to consolidate the development strategy for future products and their adaptability to the integration of smart grids.
