Envisioning a Concept of Future Energy Storage System Based On Molten Salt Tech
We are excited to announce that we are part of a cutting-edge innovation project aiming to provide a commercially viable energy storage system based on molten fluoride salt in Denmark to supply the power grid with renewable energy on a day-to-day or even week-to-week basis. It means the opportunity to push fossil-fuels into retirement since access wind or heat power won’t be wasted, but safely kept and used on-demand for electricity and heating.
The project led by Seaborg Technologies highly corresponds to Europe’s man on the moon moment - helping to fulfill the European Green Deal Plan - achieving climate-neutrality by 2050. Project’s hope is to create a proof of concept low-cost, long-duration, large-volume energy storage solution to supply the grid both with electricity and heating during cloudy weather, windless days and nighttime.
Drafting a vision of molten salt energy storage system
Kirt x Thomsen’s main mission is to support early-stage innovation development with modern visual communication tools, providing a simple, yet illuminating window through which core project information will be seen, explored and understood by key stakeholders.
The project’s R&D will be run by chemists, physicists, engineers, and entrepreneurs, thus our key goal is to support them with a common language that maintains focus and provides clarity when communicating internally as well as to external audiences.
In a final project phase, we will communicate the results in a form of visualizing different future scenarios as well as business models to showcase and highlight the project’s value brought to society.
Innovation partners
Exploring worldwide, molten salt storage is among the key trending energy storage options, attracting significant investments. One of the most known examples is Malta Inc. - Google X’s spin-off moonshot project, backed by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson, Jack Ma, and other billionaires. Current Malta Inc’s aim - finding the right site for a pilot project.
