Aim
The objective of this project is to advance the MESH system developed through IDRIC project MIP 4.2 A flexibly integrated solution for gas compression and industrial thermal processing decarbonisation to a higher TRL by focusing on large-scale fabrication of heat storage materials, implementing automation in the control system, and enhancing transportation and operation safety and reliability.
These improvements aim to achieve the following:
- Standardised mass production of energy storage materials.
- Automatic charging and discharging control system for the MESH system.
- Long-duration and long-distance transport capability of thermal energy. These enhancements will increase the MESH technology to a TRL of 6-7, enabling the system to be applied to a wider range of industrial applications.
Furthermore, this follow-up project will enhance the IP aspects (in addition to the existing filed patent), accelerating the commercialisation and industrial implementation of the technology.
