A “sand battery” is a high temperature thermal energy storage that uses sand or sand-like materials as its storage medium. It stores energy in sand as heat.
Polar Night Energy’s sand battery is a large-scale high temperature thermal energy storage that uses sand or sand-like materials as its storage medium. It stores energy in sand as heat.
It has three main purposes: To store excess wind and solar energy, to participate in grid balancing markets, and to produce heat and power without burning.
The sand battery has a lot of potential to save emissions. Cleaner energy production is possible. Together, we can power the change from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
