"Finished" the argon Zn-I test, but because it leaked. Made improvements to the dev kit design.

Ready to take charge: three innovative types of energy storage
With Underground Thermal #EnergyStorage, or simply "#Geothermal Storage", bulk quantities of hot or cold water gets stored underground with modest energy leakage.
A very salient use case is using #Solar powered heat pumps during summer to heat up water for geothermal storage. Then during winter, this hot water can be tapped to heat homes and #DistrictHeating networks. This is #SeasonalEnergyStorage for solar.
Renewable heat displaces gas.
