Decarbonising heating and hot water using solar thermal collectors coupled with thermal storage: The scale of the challenge

This paper explores the feasibility of using renewable solar thermal energy linked to a salt hydrate thermochemical store (reversible chemical reaction involving the addition / removal of water from a salt) to provide a zero-carbon heating and hot water option for an average UK home. Volumetric abso...
