Million pound boost to cold energy storage technology
A £1m Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) research grant has been awarded to the Birmingham Centre for Energy Storage and the School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, to develop novel cold energy storage technologies. The project titled 'Cryogenic-temperature Cold Storage using Micro-encapsulated Phase Change Materials in Slurries' will explore fundamental aspects on cold energy storage at cryogenic temperatures and develop associated applied technologies.
