Semco Maritime to build Esbjerg long period of time storage plant

• Company has entered into an EPC agreement with Hyme Energy to supply the MOSS project

Semco Maritime and also Hyme Energy have signed a contract for a long-duration energy storage project in Esbjerg, Denmark.

Hyme Energy has awarded Semco Maritime an engineering, procurement, and building (EPC) contract for the stipulation of services for the Molten Salts Storage (MOSS) project in Esbjerg, where an energy storage demo plant will certainly be developed at Din Forsyning, Gjesing Varmeværk.

The plant will be based upon proprietary corrosion control modern technology and also deploy liquified hydroxide salts.

At Hyme Energy's long-duration thermal energy storage centers, excess energy from solar and also wind farms is to be stored as warmth in 700 degrees molten hydroxide salt to be able to provide economical warm and power when needed, up to 2 weeks later on.

The design phase of the MOSS Project will certainly be finished in the second quarter, with the subsequent installation phase finishing in the fourth quarter of 2023.
