Renewable energy generation as well as the electrification of both transportation (via electric vehicles) and space heating (via heat pumps) are regarded as the key enablers to achieve a net-zero circular economy by 2050. The Prime Minister's Ten Point Plan (November 2020) has set an ambition to grow the installation of electric heat pumps from 30,000 per year to 600,000 per year by 2028. However, the radical and complete replacement of fossil fuels (mainly natural gas for the UK) with renewable for heating will lead to significant 'capability wastes': (1) up to 150GW renewable electricity generation capacity will be mostly idle in other seasons rather than winter if superabundant renewable generation capacity was installation without inter-seasonal storage; (2) about 44GW conventional heat-to-power electricity generation capacity as well as the related infrastructure would be 'wasted' due to lack of carbon-free fuels. The 'waste' heat-to-power generation capacity is sufficient to meet the UK's electricity generation for heating in winters, considering their much higher load factor than renewable generation. One promising approach to tackle these challenges is the so-called 'Carnot Battery' technology, which is a grid-scale system primarily used to store electric energy with three key processes: transforming electricity into heat, storing the heat in inexpensive storage media, and then transforming the heat back to electricity when required. The 'Carnot Battery' is regarded as an emerging technology for the inexpensive and site-independent storage of electrical energy by turning the conventional power plants into grid-scale energy storage plants. However, current R&D efforts using this technology adopt either sensible thermal storage or latent heat storage and therefore are only suitable for short duration applications (e.g., daily/weekly energy management) due to unavoidable self-discharge (heat loss/dissipation).The overall aim of this project is to develop a novel and cost-effective metal oxides redox based thermochemical heat storage technology through the recovery of metallic material wastes, which enables the flexible capture of waste renewable electricity, as well as the timely power generation using otherwise retired thermal power plants. The whole process can realise the concept of 'Carnot Batteries' which could provide both short-term balancing and long-term inter-seasonal services to the grid.

可再生能源发电以及交通电气化（通过电动汽车）和空间供暖（通过热泵）被认为是到2050年实现净零循环经济的关键推动因素。总理的十点计划（2020年11月）设定了一个目标，即到2028年将电动热泵的安装量从每年30，000增加到每年600，000。然而，彻底彻底地取代化石燃料（英国主要是天然气）与可再生能源供热将导致显着的“能力浪费”：（1）如果过剩的可再生能源发电能力在没有跨季节存储的情况下安装，则高达150 GW的可再生能源发电能力将在其他季节而不是冬季大部分闲置;（2）约44吉瓦的传统热电联产发电能力以及相关基础设施将因缺乏无碳燃料而“浪费”。考虑到其比可再生能源发电高得多的负荷系数，“废热”发电能力足以满足英国冬季供暖的发电量。解决这些挑战的一种有前途的方法是所谓的“卡诺电池”技术，这是一种电网规模的系统，主要用于通过三个关键过程存储电能：将电力转化为热量，将热量存储在廉价的存储介质中，然后在需要时将热量转化为电力。“卡诺电池”被认为是一种新兴的技术，通过将传统发电厂转变为电网规模的能量存储厂来实现廉价和独立的电能存储。然而，目前使用该技术的研发工作采用显热储存或潜热储存，因此仅适用于短持续时间应用（例如，该项目的总体目标是通过回收金属材料废料，开发一种新颖且具有成本效益的基于金属氧化物氧化还原的热化学储热技术，从而能够灵活地捕获废弃的可再生电力，并利用退役的热电厂及时发电。整个过程可以实现“卡诺电池”的概念，可以为电网提供短期平衡和长期跨季节服务。
