DE-FOA-0000471: High Energy Advanced Thermal Storage (HEATS)
More than 90% of energy technologies involve the transport and conversion of thermal energy. Therefore, advancements in thermal energy storage – both hot and cold – would dramatically improve performance for a variety of critical energy applications. ARPA-E seeks to develop revolutionary cost-effective thermal energy storage technologies in three focus areas: 1) high temperature storage systems to deliver solar electricity more efficiently around the clock and allow nuclear and fossil baseload resources the flexibility to meet peak demand, 2) fuel produced from the sun’s heat, and 3) HVAC systems that use thermal storage to dramatically improve the driving range of electric vehicles.
