Heated Bricks: Replacing Gas Boilers in Germany & California
Germany and California are reviving an old concept with a modern twist: heated bricks. By storing renewable energy as heat in thermal bricks, industries can replace traditional gas-fired boilers. It’s a low-tech, high-impact solution for decarbonizing heavy industrial processes.

World's first '#SandBattery' can store heat at 500C for months at a time. Could it work in Australia?

By technology reporter James Purtill
Mon 18 Jul 2022

Excerpt: "Polar Night Energy's chief executive officer Markku Ylönen said the entire battery could be built in "any steel workshop".

" 'It's really a typical #silo with nothing that special,' he said.

"To discharge the stored #ThermalEnergy, air is circulated through pipes in the sand where it's heated, then directed, to wherever it's needed.

"Right now, that's mostly heating homes, but it could also be used for high-temperature industrial processes, Mr Ylönen said."
