Primeiro projeto de usina hidrelétrica reversível da Estônia, a empresa Zero Terrain firmou parceria com o governo da Estônia e recebeu um subsídio de € 1,9 milhão

TALLINN, Estônia, April 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O Ministério do Clima da Estônia assina o Memorando de Entendimento (MoU) com a empresa de energia Zero Terrain para ajudar a Estônia a atingir sua meta de energia 100% renovável até 2030. Com essa cooperação, a Zero Terrain está colaborando diretamente com o governo para desenvolver soluções que viabilizem a execução do projeto de armazenamento de energia PHS [pumped–hydro energy storage (armazenamento de energia hidrelétrica por bombeamento)] na Estônia, incluindo o apoio à obtenção de capital e o enfrentamento dos desafios do mercado.

Além disso, a Zero Terrain conta com um subsídio de 1,98 milhão de euros do programa estatal de pesquisa aplicada para apoiar o desenvolvimento do projeto Zero Terrain na Estônia e a exportação de tecnologia.

A instalação subterrânea de armazenamento de energia de longa duração Zero Terrain Paldiski 500MW é um avanço significativo da tecnologia PHS convencional, possibilitando a construção em qualquer lugar, mesmo em terrenos planos.

A Zero Terrain Paldiski representa um marco notável no sistema de energia do país. A usina hidrelétrica reversível de Paldiski é um projeto de interesse comum da UE (projeto PCI). É o único projeto de área verde de armazenamento de energia hidrelétrica por bombeamento na região do norte do Báltico e também será a maior usina do país.

“A assinatura do MoU é um passo significativo na jornada da Zero Terrain rumo a um futuro com energia limpa e segura. Acreditamos que não pode haver um sistema de energia movido a energia renovável sem armazenamento de energia em larga escala e de longa duração. A parceria expressa a cooperação e o compromisso de promover mudanças positivas no cenário de energia renovável da Estônia”, afirma Peep Siitam, fundador e CEO da Zero Terrain.

O primeiro projeto de armazenamento de energia de longa duração da Estônia, a usina Zero Terrain Paldiski, obteve as principais licenças de construção em dezembro de 2022. A construção da primeira usina hidrelétrica reversível do país terá início em 2025. Durante o ciclo operacional nominal de 12 horas, a Zero Terrain Paldiski gera 6 GWh de energia na rede, o que é um pouco mais do que o consumo médio diário de todas as residências da Estônia.

A Zero Terrain também recebe um subsídio de 1,98 milhão de euros do programa estatal de pesquisa aplicada. De acordo com Siitam, o subsídio será usado para desenvolver o projeto modular da Zero Terrain, iniciar atividades de desenvolvimento em outros países e atrair novos investidores para a Zero Terrain Paldiski, na Estônia.

“A Zero Terrain está desenvolvendo uma tecnologia de armazenamento de energia em larga escala, permitindo que a Estônia e outros países migrem para a energia renovável de forma mais ampla com um avanço tão significativo da tecnologia PHS convencional”, afirma Arbo Reino, especialista em energia da Agência de Negócios e Inovação da Estônia.

“A demanda global por capacidade de armazenamento de energia de longa duração (LDES) é inegável. São necessários 85–120 TWh–horas de LDES globalmente até 2040 (McKinsey, 2021), portanto, o interesse em nossa tecnologia e em nosso projeto é grande, principalmente em regiões onde o PHS tradicional era impossível de ser implantado devido a limitações geográficas”, explica Siitam.

A Zero Terrain tem como sócios a empresa de energia estoniana AS Alexela, a empresa de energia renovável báltico–polonesa Sunly AS, a Vool OÜ, a Combiwood Grupp OÜ, a Warmeston OÜ e a Ronnivara OÜ.

Estlands erstes Pumpspeicherkraftwerksprojekt Zero Terrain arbeitet mit der estnischen Regierung zusammen und erhält einen Zuschuss von 1,9 Mio. Euro

TALLINN, Estland, April 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Das estnische Klimaministerium unterzeichnet eine Absichtserklärung mit dem Energieunternehmen Zero Terrain, um Estland dabei zu helfen, sein Ziel von 100 % erneuerbaren Energien bis 2030 zu erreichen. Im Rahmen dieser Kooperation arbeitet Zero Terrain eng mit der Regierung zusammen, um Lösungen zu entwickeln, die die Realisierung des Pumpspeicherkraftwerksprojekts (Pumped–Hydro Energy Storage, PHS) in Estland ermöglichen, einschließlich der Unterstützung bei der Kapitalsicherung und der Bewältigung der Herausforderungen des Marktes.

Außerdem erhält Zero Terrain einen Zuschuss von 1,98 Mio. Euro aus dem staatlichen Programm für angewandte Forschung, um die Entwicklung von Zero Terrain–Projekten in Estland und den Technologieexport zu unterstützen.

Das unterirdische Langzeit–Energiespeicherkraftwerk Zero Terrain Paldiski 500 MW ist eine bedeutende Weiterentwicklung der herkömmlichen PHS–Technologie, die es ermöglicht, überall zu bauen, sogar auf flachem Land.

Das Zero Terrain Paldiski stellt einen bemerkenswerten Meilenstein im Energiesystem des Landes dar. Das Paldiski–Pumpspeicherkraftwerk ist ein EU–Projekt von gemeinsamem Interesse (Project of Common Interest, PCI–Projekt). Es ist das einzige Pumpspeicherkraftwerk auf der grünen Wiese im nördlichen Ostseeraum und wird auch die größte Anlage des Landes sein.

„Die Unterzeichnung der Absichtserklärung ist ein wichtiger Schritt auf dem Weg von Zero Terrain in eine saubere und sichere Energiezukunft. Wir sind der Meinung, dass es kein von erneuerbaren Energien angetriebenes Energiesystem ohne groß angelegte, lang anhaltende Energiespeicherung geben kann. Diese Zusammenarbeit ist ein Zeichen für die Kooperation und das Engagement, positive Veränderungen in der estnischen Landschaft der erneuerbaren Energien voranzutreiben“, so Peep Siitam, Gründer und CEO von Zero Terrain.

Estlands erstes Langzeit–Energiespeicherprojekt, Zero Terrain Paldiski, erhielt im Dezember 2022 die wichtigsten Baugenehmigungen. Der Bau des ersten Pumpspeicherkraftwerks des Landes wird im Jahr 2025 beginnen. Während des nominalen Betriebszyklus von 12 Stunden erzeugt Zero Terrain Paldiski 6 GWh Strom für das Netz, was etwas mehr ist als der durchschnittliche Tagesverbrauch aller estnischen Haushalte.

Zero Terrain erhält außerdem einen Zuschuss von 1,98 Mio. Euro aus dem staatlichen Programm für angewandte Forschung. Laut Siitam wird der Zuschuss dazu verwendet, das modulare Design von Zero Terrain weiterzuentwickeln, Entwicklungsaktivitäten in anderen Ländern zu starten und neue Investoren in Zero Terrain Paldiski, Estland, einzubinden.

„Zero Terrain entwickelt eine groß angelegte Energiespeichertechnologie, die es Estland und anderen Ländern ermöglicht, in größerem Umfang auf erneuerbare Energien umzusteigen, da die konventionelle PHS–Technologie so weit fortgeschritten ist“, so Arbo Reino, ein Energieexperte der Estnischen Agentur für Wirtschaft und Innovation.

„Der weltweite Bedarf an Langzeit–Energiespeicherkapazitäten (Long–Duration Energy Storage, LDES) ist unbestreitbar. Bis 2040 werden weltweit 85–120 TWh–Stunden LDES benötigt (McKinsey, 2021), daher ist das Interesse an unserer Technologie und unserem Projekt groß, insbesondere in Regionen, in denen die traditionelle PHS aufgrund geografischer Beschränkungen nicht umgesetzt werden konnte“, erklärt Siitam.

Zero Terrain ist im gemeinsamen Besitz des estnischen Energieunternehmens AS Alexela, des baltisch–polnischen Unternehmens für erneuerbare Energien Sunly AS, Vool OÜ, Combiwood Grupp OÜ, Warmeston OÜ und Ronnivara OÜ.

Zero Terrain s’associe au gouvernement estonien pour réaliser le premier projet de stockage d’énergie par pompage en Estonie et reçoit une subvention de 1,9 million d’euros

TALLINN, Estonie, 05 avr. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le ministère estonien du Climat signe un protocole d’accord avec l’entreprise énergétique Zero Terrain pour aider le pays à atteindre son objectif 2030 de 100 % d’énergies renouvelables. Dans le cadre de cette alliance, Zero Terrain collabore étroitement avec le Gouvernement pour trouver des solutions permettant la concrétisation d’une centrale hydroélectrique visant le stockage d’énergie par pompage–turbinage (ou STEP), et recherche des fonds pour répondre aux enjeux du marché.

En outre, dans le cadre de son programme de recherche appliquée, l’État estonien lui accorde une subvention de 1,98 million d’euros pour accompagner le développement de son projet et en financer la technologie étrangère.

La centrale souterraine de stockage d’énergie de longue durée de 500 MW de Zero Terrain située à Paldiski représente une avancée significative par rapport à la technologie STEP conventionnelle, du fait de sa compatibilité tout–terrain.

À Paldiski, le projet envisagé par Zero Terrain constitue une étape marquante pour l’infrastructure énergétique du pays. La centrale de pompage–turbinage de Paldiski est également un projet d’intérêt commun de l’UE (ou PIC). Il s’agira de la seule centrale de stockage d’énergie par pompage située au nord de la Baltique, et la plus grande installation du pays.

Pour Peep Siitam, fondateur et PDG de Zero Terrain, « La signature du protocole d’accord est un jalon décisif dans l’orientation de Zero Terrain vers un avenir énergétique propre et sûr. Nous estimons que seul un système stockage d’énergie de longue durée et à grande échelle permet la transition vers les énergies renouvelables. Cette collaboration est placée sous le signe de la coopération et de l’engagement en faveur d’une évolution positive de l’infrastructure des énergies renouvelables en Estonie ».

La première centrale de stockage d’énergie de longue durée en Estonie conçue par Zero Terrain à Paldiski a obtenu les principaux permis de construire en décembre 2022, et le chantier de construction débutera en 2025. Au cours d’un cycle fonctionnel de 12 heures, la centrale Zero Terrain de Paldiski produit 6 GWh d’électricité pour le réseau, ce qui est légèrement supérieur à la consommation quotidienne moyenne de l’ensemble des ménages du pays.

Zero Terrain perçoit également une subvention de 1,98 million d’euros du programme de recherche appliquée de l’État. Selon Monsieur Siitam, cette aide sera investie dans le développement de la conception modulaire de Zero Terrain, et contribuera à initier des activités de développement dans d’autres pays mais aussi à susciter l’appétit de nouveaux investisseurs envers son projet de centrale à Paldiski.

« Zero Terrain développe une technologie de stockage d’énergie à grande échelle, qui favorise la transition de l’Estonie et d’autres pays vers les énergies renouvelables au moyen d’une avancée significative de la technologie STEP traditionnelle » observe Arbo Reino, expert en énergie de l’Agence estonienne pour les affaires et l’innovation.

« Le besoin mondial en matière de stockage énergétique de longue durée (ou LDES pour Long–Duration Energy Storage) est incontestable. D’après une étude menée en 2021 par McKinsey, une capacité mondiale à hauteur de 85 à 120 TWh sera nécessaire à l’échelle planétaire d’ici 2040. Notre technologie et notre projet suscitent ainsi un net intérêt, en particulier dans les régions qui n’ont pas pu installer une STEP traditionnelle en raison de contraintes géographiques » ajoute Monsieur Siitam.

Zero Terrain est détenue conjointement par la société énergétique estonienne AS Alexela, la société balto–polonaise d’énergie renouvelable Sunly AS, Vool OÜ, Combiwood Grupp OÜ, Warmeston OÜ et Ronnivara OÜ.
