Storing and transporting energy, comprises e.g. using one-component system of A and B in a chemical reaction under heat absorption and removal of carbon dioxide to form an energy-rich compound B

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a method for storing and transporting energy by converting a low-energy substance (A) into a high-energy, storable compound (B) through a chemical reaction that absorbs heat and removes carbon dioxide. The stored compound B can later be transported and reconverted back to substance A by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing the stored heat, making use of solar energy for the conversion process.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Storing solar energy for later use, such as at night or during cloudy periods
• Transporting stored energy from regions with surplus solar power to areas with high energy demand
• Integrating into renewable energy systems to balance supply and demand
• Serving as a portable energy storage medium for remote locations
• Supporting grid stability by acting as a chemical energy buffer

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Allows efficient storage and transport of energy in chemical form
• Enables the use of renewable energy (like solar) to produce storable fuels
• Reduces energy loss compared to direct electricity transport over long distances
• Helps decouple energy production from consumption time and location
• Can contribute to carbon capture efforts by involving CO2 absorption and release cycles

Patent Abstract

Storing and transporting energy, comprises using a one-component system of A and B in a chemical reaction under heat absorption and removal of carbon dioxide to form an energy-rich compound B, which is stored and transported at same or another place and at another time in a chemical reaction by absorbing carbon dioxide to supply back the stored heat, where A is a low-energy substance. An independent claim is also included for an energy storage- and energy transport system, where the formation of the substance B from the substance A takes place using solar radiation energy.
