Abstract: Industrial processes consume large amounts of thermal energy, while many recoverable heat streams remain unused because heat sources and sinks differ in time, temperature level, power demand, and operating schedule. Thermal energy storage (TES) can decouple heat supply from heat demand and support waste heat recovery, peak-load reduction, process heat electrification, and flexible operation of continuous, batch, and intermittent processes. This narrative review assesses industrial TES from a process integration perspective rather than from a storage-material perspective alone. Sensible, latent, thermochemical, sorption-based, hybrid, and steam-based storage systems are compared with respect to delivery temperature, storage duration, charging and discharging power, response time, heat losses, reliability, integration complexity, and techno-economic feasibility. Sector-specific opportunities are discussed for the iron and steel, cement, ceramics, chemical and petrochemical, pulp and paper, and food and beverage industries. The review shows that deployment is constrained less by the availability of storage concepts than by heat exchanger limitations, inconsistent Key Performance Indicator (KPI) definitions, unclear system boundaries, scarce long-term operating data, and insufficient coupling with pinch analysis, heat exchanger network design, control, and safety requirements. A practical technology-selection workflow and a research roadmap are proposed for scalable, reliable, and economically viable industrial TES deployment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
