The CryoHub project team held its third meeting in April, hosted by Air Liquide in Paris, where consortium members ran a series of technical meetings. The meetings included a tour of the Air Liquide site where heat exchangers for cryogens are designed and manufactured. The use of liquid cryogens, in this case liquid air, is a key element of the CryoHub technology. CryoHub is a European project, co-funded under the Horizon 2020 programme, to develop an interactive hub integrating renewable energy in industrial food refrigeration for enhancing power grid sustainability, using liquid air.
At the project meetings, a team of over 20 representatives from research institutes, universities, manufacturers and professional organisations reviewed progress in areas including:
The project has recently published two Mapping Studies on its website with a further study due to be released shortly. A summary of the mapping exercise is included in the April newsletter which is now available in English, French, Spanish and Italian.
A seminar open to experts interested in finding out more about the CryoHub project and technologies is being planned for October 2017 to be hosted by IRSTEA, the French National Research Institute of Science and Technology for Environment and Agriculture in Paris. At the seminar, the various project partners will give introductions to the innovative technologies behind CryoHub will and outline the potential benefits that have been identified for large scale cryogenic energy storage using liquid air in refrigerated warehouses or food factories.
