ThumbsUp will be there! Are you following? ☕️ #energystorage

Rewatch the full session of our webinar on "EU Regulatory Landscape for Thermal Energy Storage"! 📺

Last week, Guillermo Andrés Nieto participated as a speaker in a webinar on the theme EU Regulatory Landscape for Thermal Energy Storage. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for yet another successful collaboration within our TES Cluster together with BEST-Storage, ECHO EUproject, and HYSTORE PROJECT EU. A big thank you as well to all participants who contributed with insightful and engaging questions. 💡 Let’s continue driving innovation in thermal energy storage together! #TES #technologies #EuropeanUnion

🧐 Thermal energy storage (or #TES) is key to facilitate the integration of #renewable #energy sources (or #RES)! The question is how is it being regulated? Are the regulations in place facilitating or hindering the roll out of these innovative solutions. 🧾   👉 Join us this Thursday November 21 to hear from Guillermo Andrés Nieto, Thomas Schleker and Karla Zambrano González about European regulatory landscape today!   🔗 More information and registration on: https://lnkd.in/dp84F6VU

See you on November 21, right? 💻

It is always very fruitful to see project team members get together to promote project results and exchange on common challenges and way forward! Thank you CIEMAT and HPT TCP - Technology Collaboration Programme on Heat Pumping Technologies by IEA for providing this opportunity!

ThumbsUp goes intenational!! 🌍💥 Juan Carlos del Castillo García, our technical coordinator, was invited to present the #ThumbsUpTES project and it's use of #heatpumps at the #NationalWorkshop organized by CIEMAT in the framework of the HPT TCP - Technology Collaboration Programme on Heat Pumping Technologies by IEA ExCo meeting i#MAdrid, #Spain. It provided us the opportunity to showcase the innovative work we are doing in front of actors form around the word. 👏 🤓   The team was also able to meet the TCP's national representatives from #Spain, #Netherlands and #Sweden where some of the project partners come from! 🤝 💫

Join us for our next Knowledge Exchange Forum! We want to invite you to a joint knowledge exchange forum, a collaboration between the Thunder and ThumbsUp. This event will focus on the innovative topic of thermal energy storage (TES) around data centres. With the rapid growth of data centres across Europe, expected to account for 98.5 TWh/year by 2030 (3.2% of the continent’s total electricity demand), there’s a significant opportunity to recuperate residual heat from cooling systems. This heat can be used, stored, or sold to local district heating networks. 📅 Date: 26th of November 🕒 Time: 14:00 – 15:30 📍 Location: Online. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/diPPFZJ8 We are excited to have Kristina Lygnerud from IVL Svenska Miljöinstitutet present on behalf of Thunder, discussing potential business models for storing and selling heat to the grid. Stefano Barberis from the Università degli Studi di Genova will present on behalf of ThumbsUp, exploring how solutions originally meant for residential buildings can also be applied to data centres. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with experts, share insights, and explore the future of TES in data centres. We look forward to your participation! #KnowledgeExchange #ThermalEnergyStorage #DataCentres #Innovation #Collaboration

This morning, Lawien Zubeir from our project partner TNO participated in the panel session "A Future Based on RES" at the EU Projects Zone Hub during the final day of Enlit Europe. Lawien, alongside experts from innovative projects such as SEMPRE-BIO PROJECT, 3Bee, ThumbsUp, HYSTORE PROJECT EU, and HE Reformer, provided key insights into the latest advancements in the TAKE-OFF project, focusing on renewable energy integration and the transformative role of synthetic aviation fuel (eSAF) in building a sustainable future for aviation. During the session, Lawien highlighted our project’s progress, sharing exciting results ahead of our final conference on 11th December. Notably, TAKE-OFF’s breakthrough in catalyst development is enabling the direct conversion of CO₂ and H2 into light olefins—an advancement that skips the traditional intermediate methanol synthesis step resulting in CAPEX and energy savings. Key Achievements Discussed: 🔵 Successful synthesis of light olefins directly from CO₂ and H₂, with ~90% selectivity and efficient CO recycling. 🔵 Advances in oligomerisation to jet fuel, achieving high selectivity (>80%) in liquid-range oligomers and over 90% conversion rates using nickel catalysts. 🔵 The TNO-patented SIENNA reactor with in-situ water separation, showing a 40% increase in methanol productivity. These developments not only highlight TAKE-OFF’s potential to contribute to the advancement of synthetic fuel production, but also showcase the significant role of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (#CCU) in advancing sustainable energy solutions. #RenewableEnergy #SustainableAviation #SyntheticFuels #EnergyInnovation

Having the right legislation in place is key in facilitating the rollout of new technologies that will enable the #decarbonisation of our #enegy systems. 👉Join us on November 21 at 10:00 CEST to discuss the subject!
