Development of cavern heat storage in Austria

/en/research-topics/heating-and-cooling-networks-for-cities-and-industry/projekte/development-of-cavern-heat-storage-in-austria

Thermal energy storage in crystalline rocks Heating networks are a key component of the energy transition, as almost half of final energy consumption in Austria is in the form of thermal energy. The increased [...] of renewable energies is increasingly leading to temporal and spatial discrepancies between energy supply and heat demand. It is therefore crucial to drive forward the decoupling of energy generation, [...] waste heat and energy and in the expansion of district heating networks. They enable existing resources to be stored and used for weeks or even months at a time. Seasonal thermal energy storage systems
