Application of thermal energy storage technology in the defense sector Fuels South & Central America Thermal Energy Storage Market
Defense applications impose a set of challenges on the usage of energy storage infrastructure. A stable, reliable, and steady power supply is important in defense applications. Phase change materials (PCM) are one of the most promising technologies in thermal energy storage. PCMs are being significantly employed and researched for enhancing thermal performance of buildings by stabilizing temperature peaks as well as power-saving functions where heating or cooling is essential. The exclusive features of a PCM-based latent heat storage system can be used in lightweight prefabricated PUF (polyurethane foam) insulated shelters leveraged by security forces to upsurge the system's thermal resistance or used in the process of storing surplus heat from sporadic renewable sources during daytime for usage at night. These features primarily help in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the shelters. Governments of various countries are launching several research and development projects in the field of PCM applications to meet the problems of extreme temperatures met by armed forces: for example, high-capacity heat sinks for critical instruments and hot jackets for high-altitude areas. Thus, the rise in the application of thermal energy storage technology in the defense sector is likely to create lucrative opportunities for the thermal energy storage market growth during the forecast period.
South & Central America Thermal Energy Storage Market Overview
In South & Central America, Brazil and Argentina are the major countries in terms of thermal energy storage. Brazil dominates the thermal storage market in the region, followed by Argentina. The increasing energy demand from the residential, industrial, and commercial sectors, along with the rising renewable energy drive, is positively influencing the need for thermal energy storage in countries in South & Central America. Changing energy domain scenarios and growing approach toward energy security are anticipated to boost the thermal energy storage demand across the region in the coming years. Brazil is leading the market for thermal energy storage and is anticipated to remain the same in the coming years. The growing focus on increasing the share of renewables in the overall energy mix and aiming toward achieving net zero carbon emission targets are a few driving factors for the thermal energy storage market. At COP26, Brazil declared its long-term goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and a 50% carbon emissions reduction plan by 2030. Energy policy in Brazil mainly highlights renewable energy generation, specifically in transportation and electricity sectors. The country is still implementing and initiating plans, policies, and mandates to achieve a sustainable approach toward climate change and working toward influencing the end users for opting renewables instead of conventional energy sources. Increased demand for storing the energy produced from renewable sources for use in the time of requirement and cost-efficient approaches for storage are boosting the growth of the thermal energy storage market in Brazil.
