It is a daunting question that a startup called Polar Night Energy, in the small and chilly nation of Finland (Figure 1), is attempting to answer. These initiatives have largely focused on renewable electric power generation, distribution, and storage. What if, rather than storing electricity, a “battery” could store heat instead?
