Distributed Thermal Energy Storage (DTES) for heat networks in densely populated areas

How can heat networks store energy when space is scarce?

This episode explores distributed thermal storage using compact “Thermal Box” solutions based on phase change materials. Designed to integrate directly into buildings, these systems enable on-site storage for large consumers, reduce production and distribution costs, and open the door to new digital control and financing models for urban district heating and cooling.

 

Speakers:

  • Anders Rønning, Business Developer, Cartesian
  • Alexis Sevault, CTO, Cartesian
  • Gabriele Pesce, Innovation & Sustainable Finance Director, Euroheat & Power
