Geothermal cooling demonstrated at transport hub in Madrid, Spain

ThinkGeoEnergy

A combination of geothermal energy and solar power have provided sustainable cooling and air-conditioning to the Moncloa Transport Hub in Madrid, Spain. For this reason, the transport hub requires a lot of investment in air-conditioning. The heat pumps are powered by a redox flow battery charged by a photovoltaic solar installation.

Liquid air: A cool option for energy storage?

Envirotec Magazine

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) uses electricity to cool air until it liquefies, so it can be stored until an opportune moment arrives when it can be brought back to a gaseous state and used for power generation. This is achieved by compressing the air to form a high-pressure gas, the air is then cooled by heat exchange with a cold fluid.

Evonik invests in graphene specialist SuperC

Charged

Specialty chemical provider Evonik has invested in Chinese graphene specialist SuperC. This saves on cooling requirements and reduces the risk of fire. SuperC has developed a process to produce few-layer graphene (FLG) and pastes for electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. The batteries also become temperature-sensitive.
