What we learned from the development and implementation of CryoHub technology 

 

 

Overview 

CryoHub the EU funded project to demonstrate the potential for cryogenic energy storage at refrigerated warehouses held a webinar to share findings and results of this work.

It featured talks from the team of Universities, companies and associations involved and explored the potential for use of renewable energies, how supply can be matched to demand for refrigerated warehousing in the EU, the development of control strategies and components such as heat exchanger, as well as advanced modelling of the design and operational results. 

The project also investigated policy and behavioural matters around attitudes to adopting new environmental technologies and techniques and we discussed how this “bigger picture” could be used to feed into EU environmental and energy policy in the future.  The webinar included a presentation of how the demonstration unit was produced and a suitable host warehouse found.  The host site, Frigologix in Belgium shared how support for innovative technologies fits into their business strategy.  A video of the demonstrator unit construction by our partners Dohmeyer was featured. 

Finally the technical team presented initial running data and discussed the future application of this groundbreaking technology based on the team’s combined experience of planning, design and build. We discussed some of the main obstacles, how were they overcome and what lessons for the future potential for innovation in energy storage this project points towards.
