Thank you Gerro.

I read the article. Its very interesting. My research however focuses on low temperature seasonal storage (range of 0 to 40 degrees celcius) to supplement borehole thermal energy systems. Thats why I am hunting for Phase change materials embedded in concrete.

Yes, PCM can store thermal energy in itself that can be used further for various applications of cooling and heating. By storing renewable sources of energy, PCM significantly reduces dependence on non-renewable sources of energy. The energy saving attribute of PCM has attracted significant government support.
