Renewable energy is becoming the new energy standard around the world and energy storage will be vital to support the transition from fossil fuel to green energy. Approximately 15 % of the global energy production capacity needs to be stored to mitigate the volatility of renewable energy production. Energy storage will therefore help to make energy delivery more reliable.
When cities and industries head towards fossil-free energy systems, to reach the goals of the Paris agreement, many terawatt-hours of storage must be deployed. This is a challenge Calix and SaltX are willing to solve.
Find out more about SaltX“The use of Calix’s technology in base load energy storage systems was foreshadowed as we developed our SOCRATCES project in Europe – which is based upon solar-powered calcium looping and is progressing well (https://socratces.eu/). We are very pleased to be working with SaltX on their system now also – which has great potential for load balancing applications as the grid decarbonises”.
“Calix are pioneers in developing sustainable solutions for many industries and therefore I believe this co-operation will have many benefits in SaltX’s mission of developing energy storage solutions that will have a real change for the renewable energy sector”.
“We congratulate Saltx on winning the Helsinki Energy Challenge, which is testament to the potential we see in the SaltX technology, and we are proud to be partnering with SaltX in this development.” Phil Hodgson.
