  • OECD European gas production looks set to peak in 2008. After that, falling production combined with rising demand will see OECD European gas imports wanting to rise from current 197 BCM per annum to 442 BCM per annum by 2020. Where will this gas come from and how will rising European imports affect N America and the rest of the world?

  • Molten salt is already used in some applications in the chemical industry to dampen temperature fluctuations in reactors.

    The important point, missed in this page and the comments on it, is that the energy is stored as latent heat of fusion. The mass is effectively a constant temperature heat sink/source over a wide range. There is nothing new in the world of course - this approach was extensively studied at BICC Research in the early 70's for peak lopping/load shifting for heating systems. The materials studied then had melting points in the 30 - 40 C range, but I don't remember the latent heat values. At that time it was rejected as too large and heavy - then the oil crisis passed. How does it compare with flow cells?
