CryoHub mapping survey

 

The CryoHub project is developing cryogenic energy storage as a means to store renewable energy and generate electrical power when most beneficial to the grid. CryoHub is focusing on food storage warehouses and food factories equipped with refrigerated facilities, because the stored cryogen can partially refrigerate these industrial facilities, before it generates electricity which can be returned to the power supply system. Mapping the locations and sizes of large refrigerated warehouses and facilities (which consume over 500 kW of electrical energy on average for refrigeration) permits to estimate the potential benefits of the CryoHub technology across Europe.
Cold chain operators and food manufacturers who run such a large refrigerated warehouse or facility are kindly invited to become ‘CryoHub Champions’ (www.cryohub.eu) by completing the following 3-5-minute questionnaire.
1.Is the information you are providing on a:
2.Location of facility.
3.Approximate size of facility (in cubic metres).
4.The average and peak electrical power consumed by the facility for refrigeration.
5.At your facility do you have
6.Does your facility generate waste heat?
7.If waste heat is available, what temperature is the waste heat source?
8.Are renewable energy resources available on your site?
9.If yes, what type of renewable energy resources are located at your site?
10.If yes, what is the maximum capacity of generation from renewable sources (kW)
11.If yes, do you export power to the grid?
12.If you do not have access to renewable energy, could renewable energy resources be installed on your site?
13.What type of renewables could be located at your site?
14.Address (to be used exclusively for contacting you, not to be shared with any third parties or authorities)
15.As a new ‘Bronze’ CryoHub Champion, would you like to enhance further your environmental credentials by a closer collaboration with the project, being involved as:
