Specifically, this FOA will implement two approaches to energy storage in concentrated solar-thermal (CST) systems:
thermochemical storage via solar fuel production and local thermal energy storage (TES) for dispatchable energy.
The two technologies will support the government-wide approach
to the climate crisis by driving the innovation that can lead to the deployment of clean energy technologies, which are critical for climate protection.
