There are many ways to store energy, but they all have their drawbacks: Batteries can be charged, but their capacity is limited. Hydrogen can be produced with electricity, but it is difficult to store it for long periods of time. TU Wien’s new method is based on a completely different principle - the conversion of thermal energy.

Thermo-chemical energy storage is a key technology to realize highly e cient short and long term thermal energy stores for various applications such as solar thermal systems or cogeneration systems. By storing the energy in form of chemical bonds of special materials the energy can be stored almost loss-free over arbitrary time periods.
POTENTIAL AND BARRIERS – The storage of thermal energy (typically from renewable energy sources, waste heat or surplus energy production) can replace heat and cold production from fossil fuels, reduce CO2 emissions and the need for costly peak power and heat production capacity.
Generally speaking, seasonal thermal energy storage can be used by storing summer heat for winter use or storing winter cold for summer use, i.e., summer heat for winter use and winter cold for summer use. Common seasonal heat storage includes seasonal sensible heat storage, seasonal latent heat storage, and seasonal thermochemical heat storage.
Thermal energy storage in the form of sensible heat relies on the specific heat and the thermal capacity of a storage medium, which is usually kept in storage tanks with high thermal insulation. The most popular and commercial heat storage medium is water, with a number of residential and industrial applications.
Seasonal storage of solar thermal energy through supercooled phase change materials (PCM) offers a promising solution for decarbonizing space and water heating in winter. Despite the high energy density and adaptability, natural PCMs often lack the necessary supercooling for stable, long-term storage.
