Polar Night Energy is a Finnish startup that has developed an innovative energy storage solution using sand as a thermal storage medium. The company's technology involves heating sand with excess electricity and then using the stored heat to produce steam for district heating or electricity generation when needed.

We were just featured in a The New York Times story about storing renewable energy. 📰

"To decarbonize the electrical grid, companies are finding creative ways to store energy during periods of low demand."

"Some companies are pursuing approaches that can sound surprisingly simple. A Finnish start-up called Polar Night Energy uses excess electricity to heat sand to temperatures as high as 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit."

"Earlier this month, the company announced a deal to build a storage facility for the town of Pornainen, with a projected reduction of emissions by nearly 70 percent."

Etsimme kestävämmän tulevaisuuden rakentamisesta kiinnostunutta työmaainsinööriä tai työmaapäällikköä vastaamaan lämpövarastotyömaiden johtamisesta. Rooli on vakituinen ja toivomme, että voisit aloittaa tehtävässä mahdollisimman pian.

Saa jakaa ja vinkata osaaville kavereille!
