Review: ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE
Messe Düsseldorf GmbH
Storage in the metal industry: World’s lead- ing trade fairs for metallurgy and foundry technology cooperate with ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE
Bright World of Metals fair quartet attracts 78,000 vis- itors
Thermal storage for waste heat recovery is on the rise
Free short presentations for metal-producing and met- al-processing companies
Energy is a major cost factor for companies that produce and process metals. These manufactur- ing processes account for approxi- mately a quarter of total industrial energy consumption in Germany. For companies in these industries, it is essential to reduce energy costs and at the same time ensure security of supply in production. Electrical energy storage systems can assume central functions, because they cut peak loads and increase electrical energy quality, while thermal energy storage systems optimize waste heat uti- lization. Against this background, the world’s leading trade fair quartet GIFA, METEC, THERMPRO- CESS and NEWCAST have agreed to cooperate with ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE, which takes place from March 12. to 14. in Düsseldorf.
The cooperation of the two Düs- seldorf trade fairs is intended to raise awareness of the possibilities of energy storage in metal pro- duction and processing and thus contribute to increasing energy ef ciency and competitiveness in these industrial segments. The four trade fairs for metallurgy and
foundry technology are leading in their segments. Around 2,000 exhibitors and around 78,000 trade visitors from all over the world are expected to attend the upcoming trade fairs from 25 to 29 June 2019.
“Energy ef ciency and security in demand and supply play an important role for our partners. By cooperating with ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE, we are bringing users together with manufactur- ers of storage solutions and thus building a bridge for our industry to position itself for a sustainable energy supply of tomorrow,” says Gerrit Nawracala, Deputy Director Global Portfolio Metals and Flow Technologies Messe Düsseldorf.
As part of this cooperation, the exhibition quartet will for the rst time invite visitors to ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE (ESE) via its channels and organise its own stand at ESE.
ENERGY STORAGE EUROPE Expo on 13 March from 11.15 a.m. to 11.40 a.m. offers two free short presentations on electrical and thermal storage for representa- tives of metal producing and pro- cessing companies.
Thermal storage for waste heat recovery is on the rise
About 25 percent of the nal energy demand in Germany is accounted for by process heat and cooling. One key to improv- ing energy ef ciency here is the
