Gemini Centre for Thermal Energy Storage
TES Workshop
The TES Workshop returns to Trondheim on 9–10 December 2026, gathering researchers, industry, and innovation stakeholders working to accelerate the deployment of thermal energy storage solutions for flexible and decarbonized energy systems.
The workshop is organized by the Gemini Centre for Thermal Energy Storage and hosted by SINTEF Energy Research. The 2026 edition will be closely connected to the IEA Tasks on Materials and Components for Thermal Energy Storage, whose expert meeting will take place in Trondheim on 7–8 December.
Following the success of previous editions, the workshop continues as an international arena for discussing the latest developments in TES technologies, industrial implementation, system integration, and energy flexibility.
The programme will include:
- Technical and scientific presentations
- Industrial case studies and technology showcases
- Interactive panel debates
- A poster session with award for best poster
- Networking dinner connecting research and industry
The workshop is also supported by the EERA Joint Programme on Energy Storage, which sponsors the poster award and contributes to the event activities.
The event will be held fully onsite at SINTEF’s Energy Building in Trondheim, with free registration. More information about speakers, agenda, and registration will be announced soon.
