Thermal energy storage (TES), specifically heat storage, may have a key role to play in supporting the achievement of the UK’s future decarbonization targets for heat and electricity. TES systems can be designed to collect and store low-quality heat (such as low-temperature industrial process heat), which can either be used directly or at a later time to produce hot water and space heating for buildings.
