Analyst Perspective:

The mounting share of renewable resources in the complete power mix and increasing focus on achieving zero carbon emissions in different states and countries fuel the thermal energy storage market growth. Increasing focus on concentrated solar power and growing application of thermal energy storage for district heating and cooling, process heating and power generation is also boosting the thermal energy storage market. Europe dominated the market for thermal energy storage in 2022, followed by North America and South America, which registered the highest CAGR growth in 2022.

Thermal Energy Storage Market Overview:

Thermal energy storage (TES) is a kind of energy storage. Thermal energy storage means heating or cooling a medium to leverage the energy when required later. Thermal energy storage can strike balanced energy consumption between day and night. Various technologies, such as sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, and thermochemical storage, can be used for thermal energy storage. Sensible thermal energy storage is considered one of the feasible options to decrease energy consumption and lower CO2 emissions. They utilize water or rock for storing and distributing heat energy. Sensible thermal energy storage is most appropriate for residential buildings. Latent heat storage systems accumulate energy without the medium alterations in temperature but rather rely on the modifying state of a medium. The phase change materials can store heat in their mass as latent heat. These materials are used in building and solar applications, accumulating and storing excess building heat. Thermochemical heat storage systems are based on chemical reactions.

Thermal Energy Storage Market Driver:

Growing Share of Renewables Propels Thermal Energy Storage Market Growth

The revolution of the global energy system following the Paris Agreement, which was initiated in 2015 and entered into force in 2016, is boosting the application of renewables among energy end-users. The adoption of thermal energy storage is growing due to increasing concern towards more sustainable and green energy alternatives, rising climate change concerns, and government initiatives towards boosting the usage of renewable energy across the globe. Furthermore, due to the growing energy uncertainties in Europe owing to the Russia-Ukraine war, governments of various countries realized the potential of domestically generated renewables and energy storage. Thermal energy storage (TES) technology is one of the alternatives to battery storage, which can aid the integration of renewable energy in sectors such as power generation, commercial, and residential. Deploying TES technologies in these sectors can help reduce the heating and cooling demand created by instant power generation from supply resources. TES decreases the requirement for expensive grid reinforcements for PV. It also aids in meeting periodic demand for power and supports the shift to a primarily renewable-driven energy system. Thermal storage technology can also ease the process of load shifting, resulting in better deployment of renewables and improved grid congestion. By assisting the transition to renewables and boosting electrification, TES technologies can aid in meeting long-term climate and sustainability goals. Thus, the rising deployment of renewable generation technologies drives the thermal energy storage market.

Based on technology, the thermal energy storage market is categorized into sensible heat storage, latent heat storage and thermochemical storage. All types of technologies are already under commercialization. However, even within the same category, some storage technologies are more mature and widely applied than others. For example, sensible storage is applied when the temperature of a material is raised or reduced. In contrast, latent storage occurs when a material's phase is changed from solid to liquid or liquid to vapor without a temperature change. In addition, thermochemical heat storage is leveraged on the surface of a material. The major application for thermal energy storage technologies is in buildings, energy production or supply systems, district systems, power plants, and industrial applications.
