Global Thermal Energy Storage Market : Industry Analysis

Gaarti13 Aug, 2021History

On the basis of storage material, molten salt is expected to hold the largest market share of the thermal energy storage market, during the forecast period. Molten salts have high boiling points, low viscosity, low vapor pressure, and high volumetric heat capacities. A higher heat capacity corresponds to a smaller storage tank volume. Molten salt can function as a large-scale thermal storage method that would allow other energy sources, such as solar, to become more feasible by smoothing out the fluctuations in demand and weather.
