<p>Abstract: Growing energy demand and environmental pollution issues are placing greater demands on sustainable thermal energy storage. Research indicates that molten salt phase change materials (MSPCMs) represent a promising alternative for thermal energy storage (TES), effectively addressing the energy supply-demand imbalance. These salts typically have a range of excellent properties, such as high energy storage [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.solarpaces.org/published-at-applied-energy-a-review-of-the-performance-and-application-of-molten-salt-based-phase-change-materials-in-sustainable-thermal-energy-storage-at-medium-and-high-temperatures/">Published at Applied Energy &#8211; A review of the performance and application of molten salt-based phase change materials in sustainable thermal energy storage at medium and high temperatures</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.solarpaces.org">SolarPACES</a>.</p>

When the International Maritime Organization's lower marine sulfur limit known as IMO 2020 took effect in January 2020, commercial shippers pivoted sharply to fueling their vessels with low-sulfur fuel oil (LSFO). In the years since, high-sulfur fuel oil has reclaimed some market share, as a growing number of commercial vessels install sulfur scrubbers that allow operators to use the heavier, cheaper fuel oils while complying with the new sulfur emission limits.
