Finland’s 100MW sand battery turns 2,000 tons of fireplace waste into power | In terms of size, this unique battery will have a height of about 13 meters and a width of roughly 15 meters.
Finnish company Polar Night Energy is rapidly advancing the development of an industrial-scale Sand Battery.
Once ready, it will serve as a thermal energy source for power station Loviisan Lämpö’s district heating network. “We’re very pleased to use a by-product of Tulikivi’s production instead of virgin materials for the Sand Battery, supporting the principles of circular economy. “The Sand Battery will significantly reduce the combustion-based energy used in our district heating network, and the collaboration with Tulikivi has added a valuable circular economy aspect to this project,” said Mikko Paajanen, Loviisan Lämpö CEO, in the press release.
