referred to as chemical heat pumps, are typically used for space heating and cooling, refrigeration, low-temperature steam production, cleaning, drying, and evaporation and distillation processes in various manufacturing processes. Heat pumping technology is used to “upgrade” the temperature of wasted heat (or heat produced in solar thermal generation) to a level where it can be either reused or stored (Wongsuwan et al., 2001). Conventional pumps operate on absorption or vapour compression technologies. If salt hydration TES systems were developed to compete with the incumbent heat pump technologies, this could improve system efficiencies through better integration. The principal challenges are optimising reactor design and integrating the sorber components to facilitate ideal heat and mass transfer. It is anticipated that R&D activities, as well as collaborative industrial deployment studies, could realise significant efficiency improvements. 3.3 Cold chain The cold chain is the uninterrupted supply chain required to get products which must be stored at low temperatures from the producer to the point of consumption. Perishable food and vaccines are good examples of such products. Cold is used at each stage of the chain to keep these products fresh. It is estimated that energy used for refrigerating food accounts for 8% of global power usage, and is responsible for 2.5% of global GHG emissions, when including both direct and indirect emissions. It also represents a sizable cost: for example, energy accounts for 11% of the production value added for dairy products (Dallemand et al., 2015). Need for TES TES in the cold chain • TEScanhelpintegraterenewablesacrossallpartsofthecoldchain(production,transport,storageandretail, and consumption) by increasing the demand-side flexibility of refrigeration loads. This could reduce the need for investment in network reinforcement and permit the generation of cold at times of peak supply of renewably generated electricity. • Growthinelectrifiedrefrigerationwillincreasedemandonnetworks,especiallyinemergingeconomies.TES could support development of off-grid renewably supplied refrigeration in developing countries, to enhance food and medicine supply chain efficiency. • TEScanbeusedtodisplacediesel-poweredrefrigerationincold-chaintransport,andcanhelptocouplethe transport, cold chain and power sectors.

Retrofit of existing fossil fuel refuelling network to deliver TES-stored renewably generated cold could facilitate significant decarbonisation.
