IEA Task 44 HiCBest (IEA Task 44 HiCBest) is a joint research project within the International Energy Agency (IEA).
The overarching aim of this task is to establish a platform that brings together experts from industry and academia to:
- Systematically identify and evaluate the role of storage-based power-to-heat and heat-integrated Carnot batteries in the energy transition,
- Strengthen the international visibility of these technologies and create a common understanding of their potential in industry and politics.
3rd expert meeting on 1 April 2025 in Stockholm
The next expert meeting will be organised by the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and is expected to bring together 40 participants.
Focus of the meeting:
- Definition of key performance indicators for heat storage technologies
- Structuring these key figures according to use cases
This structured analysis is intended to create a better understanding of the use and potential of power-to-heat and Carnot batteries.
