Innovation Project
HyHeatStore
Infrastructure project
The aim is to develop and demonstrate a novel, magnesium hydride-based heat storage system for high-temperature applications that has a significantly higher storage density than conventional storage systems. The thermal discharge of the heat storage is based on the reversible, exothermic reaction of magnesium with hydrogen to form magnesium hydride. In this reaction, heat is released at approx. Freeze at 400 °C. In the reverse reaction, the decomposition of magnesium hydride into magnesium and hydrogen decomposition, heat is required, thereby loading the heat storage.
