Goals
- operational test of the laboratory prototype of an innovative hybrid storage unit
- increase in storage capacity by 40%.
- Enable economic energy efficiency measures
“The motivation for the research project HyStEPs is to develop a new innovative storage concept that will increase the storage capacity of steam storage units already integrated in processes, in order to promote the decarbonisation of industrial processes. With the technology developed in HyStEPs we expect a CO2– saving potential through efficiency increase of 11 million tons per year in the EU.“
