Nine partners from seven European countries are involved in the €3.6 million (AU$5.25 million) “Reveal” research project, which says buildings could be heated in the future by storing energy from PV, wind and water in aluminium. August 22, 2022 Sandra Enkhardt Researchers in Iceland have already shown that electrical energy from renewable sources can be chemically stored in aluminium without emitting greenhouse gases.Image: Rio TintoFrom pv magazine GermanyThe “Reveal” research project began in July, with a number of big goals. They are focusing on the further development of advanced technologies that can produce aluminium from alumina without carbon dioxide emissions. And they are working on technologies to use the metal as a medium for long-term storage of electricity as heat, which can be extracted and used to heat homes in buildings during winter months.The EU Horizon…
