1414 Degrees has taken some major steps towards developing its silicon-based thermal energy storage technology SiBox – with the help of funding partner Woodside (ASX:WPL).
The company’s tech harnesses the exceptional heat capacity of silicon-based storage materials to store energy from intermittent renewable energy sources. Its high temperature air output can be flexibly coupled with different energy recovery systems for use as clean, firm heat or combined heat and power. SiBox enables intermittent renewable electricity to be stored during hours of excess renewable generation and then dispatched as firmed, high temperature air that can uniquely provide the clean, high temperature heat needed for industrial processes. It is a flexible, scalable and sustainable technology that offers a solution to the global need for a…
