Evaluate the environmental obligations arising from industrial thermal energy storage.
Thermal Energy Storage Technologies for Continuous Industrial Use
A senior-level treatment of industrial thermal energy storage, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on industrial thermal energy storage both accrue interest. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in energy storage; it has added to it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline that were visible long before the incident. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to industrial thermal energy storage in an order their organisation can absorb. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations and supervised application. The course gives participants a defensible structure for energy storage and the judgement to adapt it. What blocks progress on industrial thermal energy storage is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for energy storage, not for observers of it. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can repeat annually.
