I've been hearing about this from a few different sources currently a sort of abuzz on the internet.
Sand/Dirt is a super cheap resource that can be used to store a vast amount of thermal energy.
A Finish Team - Polar Night Energy - has developed a system to store heat at 600-1000 C
for months at a time using mostly just pipes and sand.
Why this is important:
Heat is a resource needed all over the world in winter months. Most often this is produced by factories burning
various materials to produce electricity to produce heat, or by pumping natural gas into people's homes. In short,
a large amount of resources are used to provide heat energy to communities that need it during the colder months.
The "Sand Battery Thermal Storage System" is able to store large amounts of heat (up to 1000 C) for months and months
at a time. The heat itself can be generated with renewable energy like solar and wind during productive (sunny and windy) times. Currently
storage of this energy when it is not needed is a problem. As space heating for homes and businesses on demand constitutes a large
energy output, having an efficient thermal storage system in place reduces overheads for any community.
The system is so simple that it can literally be taken up anywhere, by any community that needs it using existing and readily available materials
(mostly, pipes and sand).
