High temperature thermochemical energy storage system
A thermochemical energy storage system and method of storing thermal energy are described. The energy storing system described herein comprises a reactor comprising: a) a reactor with a CO 2 sorbent including MgO; and b) a supercritical CO 2 source with supercritical CO 2 and H 2 O, wherein the supercritical CO 2 source is in fluid communication with the reactor and the CO 2 sorbent including MgO to allow flow of the supercritical CO 2 and H 2 O between the supercritical CO 2 source and the reactor, thereby allowing contact of CO 2 with the CO 2 sorbent comprising MgO.
