Summary
Denmark's Hyme Energy wants to save decommissioned fossil-fuel heat and power plants by repurposing them as super-cheap renewable energy storage and release facilities, using cutting-edge molten salt technology borrowed from the advanced nuclear sector. Its first plant will be online by 2024.
It'll concentrate on combined heat and power plants, replacing the heat from combustion with heat from hydroxide molten salt energy storage systems. These will charge up using excess energy from the grid, and discharge by sending heat out directly for domestic and industrial use, and also by driving steam turbines to put electricity back into the grid when renewable production is low.
