Big sand battery to store wind and solar energy using crushed soapstone

A huge sand battery is set to slash the carbon emissions of a Finnish town.

The industrial-scale storage unit in #Pornainen, southern Finland, will be the world’s biggest sand battery when it comes online within a year.

Capable of storing 100 MWh of thermal energy from solar and wind sources, it will enable residents to eliminate oil from their district heating network, helping to cut emissions by nearly 70 per cent.

The battery’s thermal energy storage capacity equates to almost one month’s heat demand in summer and a one-week demand in winter in Pornainen

All the planets in the #solar-system are undergoing #big #changes #now, due to the 12,000 year solar #cycle.

a science article lately mentioning that Nasa or some similar agency had noticed that #Saturn’s #rings had started to #heat the #planet itself, which scientist did not quite know or understand up to now.

´The #discovery: Saturn's vast ring system is heating the giant planet's upper atmosphere.´

Kurze Pause. Ausreichend lang, um Gerätschaften in Tiefschlaf verschwinden zu lassen. Neustart, neue lose Enden, gesenktes Rollo: Sonne zieht wieder über den Giebel, schon jetzt tropft Hitze von den Dächern. Der Hausmeister gegenüber verbringt seine kurze Auszeit im Schatten des Transporters, sitzt auf dem Bordstein mit Brotbüchse und Kippe. Einige Etagen weiter oben liegt der große Hund auf dem Balkon und schläft, gelegentlich zucken die Füße im Rennen durch Felder der Träume. (Der falsche Lautsprecher klingelt. Das falsche Mikrofon fängt die falschen Geräusche. Es dauert einen Augenblick, bis sich die seltsamen Rückkopplungen beruhigen. Dann kommt langsam wieder Ordnung in den Moment.)

We’re getting alerts for “Dangerous Heat” for the next couple of day, but then we’ll have some 70sF

Perfect excuse to read books, eat frozen treats and nap…

Stay safe everyone.
