Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 22nd, Carla Bevilacqua, R&D Project Engineer at Magaldi Green Energy, and Fulvio Bassetti, R&D Technical Director at Magaldi Green Energy, will participate in the online workshop “R&I challenges for the hybridization of CST Concentrated Solar Thermal with other renewable energy technologies”, promoted by CST4ALL, focusing on “Hybrid systems for electrifying industrial processes: Introduction to the MGTES - Magaldi Green Thermal Energy Storage technology”. The CST4ALL project explores opportunities for combining Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) with other technologies in electricity, heat, and fuel sectors, drawing on insights from ETIPs European Technology & Innovation Platforms, created by the European Commission. It includes workshops for industry and R&I communities to address energy sector issues. “Climate change necessitates a shift towards energy systems that integrate renewables for a continuous power supply, despite challenges with intermittency and network stability - says Carla Bevilacqua, previewing the workshop’s focus -. The #MGTES Magaldi Green Thermal Energy Storage technology offers a solution by employing a fluidized bed of silica sand for sensible heat storage, thus enabling a reliable and efficient #energy flow from generation to consumption. This innovation, which bypasses rare materials in favor of common components like silica sand and steel, is in line with #ESGcompliance and facilitates the decarbonization of industrial heating processes. MGTES is versatile, suited for both Power-to-Heat and Power-to-Heat-to-Power applications, and capable of directly harnessing renewable energy sources. It is characterized by minimal thermal losses, high energy density, and the capacity to satisfy a broad spectrum of industrial heat requirements, significantly contributing to the reduction of industrial CO2 emissions and advancing towards the #NetZero target”.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, nearly 100 RPM associates participated in Energy Star® Treasure Hunts as part of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsored program in which participants identify quick energy-saving opportunities. Our teams identified 34 energy-saving projects across 22 RPM locations ranging from lighting upgrades to solar panel installations. These projects resulted in more than 2,200,000 kWh of reduced electrical energy consumption and 100,000,000 BTU of reduced natural gas consumption. Teams also identified four solar installation projects, which will provide 1,200,000 kWh of renewable energy sourcing when active. In total, we estimate these improvements are saving the company $2.2 million annually through reduced energy costs.
