We are pleased to announce a webinar on Unlocking Scalability of Modular Thermal Energy Storage (TES), scheduled for Tuesday, 20 May 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST.

This session will delve into how Modular TES can play a pivotal role in the decarbonisation of heat and the integration of renewable energy, with a focus on overcoming the critical challenge of scalability. Through the lens of innovation, system design, and circular economy principles, we will explore the solutions and opportunities that can fully unlock the potential of TES technologies.

Organised by four EU-funded projects – ECHO, BEST-Storage, HYSTORE, and ThumbsUp – and the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), this webinar will bring together leading experts in the field to share valuable insights and strategies for building a more sustainable and resilient energy system.

Speakers will be announced soon.
