Jingneng Thermal Power: The company will initiate joint research on key technologies for low-temperature molten salt energy storage for heating in the first half of 2025.

Securities Daily Online News: On March 9, Jingneng Thermal Power responded to investor questions on the interactive platform, stating that the company will initiate joint research on key technologies for low-temperature molten salt energy storage for heating in the first half of 2025. The company has established cooperative mechanisms with Beijing Huairou Laboratory and Beijing Huairou Science City Energy Technology Co., Ltd., focusing on innovative development and intellectual property layout for molten salt energy storage heating systems. Currently, the related technologies have not yet been practically applied. Molten salt energy storage technology and thorium-based molten salt reactors belong to completely different technical fields. Molten salt energy storage utilizes the thermal physical properties of salt to store and release heat, while thorium-based molten salt reactors are nuclear power generation technologies within the scope of nuclear reactors; their principles, application scenarios, and fields are all different. The company’s main business involves thermal production and supply, comprehensive energy, and energy-saving technology services, and does not involve thorium-based molten salt reactor-related businesses.
