The CryoHub project is developing cryogenic energy storage as a means to store renewable energy and generate electrical power when most beneficial to the grid. CryoHub is focusing on food storage warehouses and food factories equipped with refrigerated facilities, because the stored cryogen can partially refrigerate these industrial facilities, before it generates electricity which can be returned to the power supply system. Mapping the locations and sizes of large refrigerated warehouses and facilities (which consume over 500 kW of electrical energy on average for refrigeration) permits to estimate the potential benefits of the CryoHub technology across Europe.
Cold chain operators and food manufacturers who run such a large refrigerated warehouse or facility are kindly invited to become ‘CryoHub Champions’ (www.cryohub.eu) by completing the following 3-5-minute questionnaire.
