SUMMARY:HILT CRC project webinar: Advancing the viability of high-temperature thermal energy storage for industrial applications
DESCRIPTION:Advancing the viability of high-temperature thermal energy storage for industrial applications\n  \nWEBINAR FOR HILT CRC PARTNERS\n\n  \n\nJoin us to hear about HILT CRC’s work on high-temperature thermal energy storage (TES) for industrial applications. \nOne of the key challenges for heavy industry’s adoption of TES is integration. For very high temperature processes\, such as calcination in alumina refining and heat supply to hydrogen direct reduced iron (DRI) processes\, it is unclear how to best integrate TES\, and whether its cost advantage over other options remains once integration costs are fully considered. \nHILT CRC project RP2.009 Advancing the viability of high temperature thermal energy storage for industrial applications undertook a scoping study to better understand the requirements of users of high-temperature heat within HILT CRC\, and to provide these stakeholders clear\, contemporary information about options for high-temperature TES integration into their processes. \nCommencing recently\, RP2.017 extends the project to enhance understanding of integrating TES into key heavy industry low-carbon transition processes by developing case studies\, conducting technoeconomic analyses\, and addressing feasibility challenges. Ultimately\, it will identify a promising use-case for a pilot-scale TES demonstration. \nIndustry perspectives on the key challenges for adoption of TES will also be presented from an end-user perspective (South32) and two TES technology developers (1414 Degrees and Magaldi). \nWebinar agenda \n\nProfessor Peter Ashman\, Leader\, HILT CRC Cross-Cutting Technologies Program – Welcome and introduction\nProfessor Joe Coventry\, School of Engineering\, The Australian National University and project leader – Project summary\nMitch Burt\, Practice Lead for Decarbonisation Technology\, South32\, Research Director – End-user industry reflection\nDr Mahesh Venkataraman\, Chief Technology Officer 1414 Degrees – Technology developer perspective\nMagaldi – Thermal storage technology application including fluidisation\, pilot/demonstration plants and scaling up (presented by Dr Jordan Parham\, HILT CRC Strategic Initiatives and Partnership Director)\nQ&A.\n\n\n\nNOTE: This webinar is exclusive to employees of HILT CRC Partner organisations. \n\n\nSPEAKERS\nProfessor Joe Coventry\, School of Engineering\, Australian National University\n \nJoe Coventry is a researcher and engineer experienced in development and commercialisation of concentrating solar and energy storage technologies.
