- This research facilitated the development of a manufacturing process that led to the world-first commercial plant which turns curtailed wind power to heat (Jinhe Energy, Xinjiang, China). The plant has harnessed over 34,560MWh wind power, reducing environmental impact by ~12,000 tonnes of CO2 and 40 tonnes of SO2 since 2016 (http://www.jinhe-energy.com/content/?286.html). Funded by CAS (KGZD-EW-302-1), Key Technologies R&D Program of China (2012BAA03B03), National Nature Science Foundation of China (Grant 21106151), and EPSRC (EP/F060955/1), it was widely reported (e.g. https://epsrc.ukri.org/blog/the-renewables-conundrum/ and http://www.chplaza.com.cn/article-3443-1.html), featured in a UKRI film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4spdfDIOIWE&feature=youtu.be), and led to further projects (EPSRC: EP/P003435/1; iHPC: EP/P004709/1) and a patent (GB501801824.2).
