Dec 14, 2013 The material they are looking at to store this thermal energy is one that is in plentiful supply in the UAE – sand. Sand has many promising properties – it is cheap and it can store thermal energy at a higher temperature of 1000 C against molten salts’ 600 C. That means hotter steam for the turbine and more efficient electricity production

Oil sands are a mixture of sand, clay, water, and bitumen that occur naturally. Bitumen is the fossil fuel component of this sand, and it is a very viscous oil that must be treated and upgraded before it can be used to produce useful fuels such as gasoline.. Oil sand deposits are found around the globe in the Middle East, Venezuela, Canada, the United States, and Russia
