Hyme Energy, which develops large-scale energy storage in liquid salt for storing excess electricity from, for example, wind farms, has entered into a contract with Semco Maritime for the establishment of a demonstration plant at Din Forsyning's heating plant in Gjesing on the outskirts of Esbjerg. The technology behind the project, known as MOSS, is a patented corrosion control that makes it possible to use liquid hydroxide salts, known from sewage treatment, as an energy storage medium.
This is a thermal energy storage system where excess electricity is stored as heat in 700 degrees Celsius molten hydroxide salt. The energy, which can be stored for up to two weeks, can either be converted back into electricity in a steam turbine and sent back to the grid, while the waste heat can be used for district heating or used for process heat in industry.
- We are very excited about the collaboration that allows us to support the pioneers at Hyme Energy in their efforts to build a fantastic sustainable solution for the energy sector. At Semco Maritime, we have more than 40 years of engineering experience from the global energy sector, and we believe in strong partnerships with growth companies like Hyme Energy, which have great scaling potential and, with their groundbreaking technology, can make a fantastic difference in the green energy transition. The contract is an important milestone for Semco Maritime in our PtX strategy, where as an EPC integrator for new green technologies we strive to use the technological know-how from our oil and gas experience in the service of the green transition, says Anders Benfeldt, Senior Vice President, Semco Maritime.
In addition to entering into a contract for the MOSS project, the parties have agreed to explore the possibilities of collaborating on Hyme Energy's future projects, where long-term thermal energy storage will enable energy companies and industry to decarbonize heat and electricity production.
The engineering work on the so-called MOSS project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023 and the subsequent installation phase in the fourth quarter of 2023.
