As a part of the formation activities of PhD students in the Doctoral Programme "Energy, Chemical and Environmental Engineering", this workshop is aimed at reviewing the development of technologies in the area of energy storage, with the focus on technologies providing inherent energy storage like those using concentrated thermal solar energy. Various technological and scientific aspects are discussed in the presentations like chemical storage based on hydrogen and calcium looping, or biomass-solar hybrid integration. In addition key political, social and economic aspects like the Spanish and European policies towards decarbonized system and the impact of power from renewable to the grid are dealt with in this WS. Challenges and opportunities to develope decarbonized energy systems and the development of integrated technologies for an energy transition based on solar energy will be reviewed. Reputed experts on outstanding topics in the field will give keynotes/lectures.
