Events

Seasonal Thermal Storage (STS) projects and technologies are helping regions to decarbonise their heating by allowing heat to be collected during the summer, stored, and then used in the winter when peak heat demand occurs.

This event aims to introduce the concept of STS, how it can add value to local and national energy systems, and the technologies involved. Alistair McCay, the Energy Technology Partnership's BDM will be joined by experts in introducing the concept. We will hear from experts who have been delivering STS projects in North West Europe, and who have been appraising the potential of STS to best be integrated into energy systems in Scotland.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone from either the public or private sectors working in an energy planning, financing, or research role. If you would like to learn more about energy storage options beyond electrical batteries, and how alternative storage forms can provide key services to local and national energy systems, this is an event not to be missed.
