Why Concentrated Solar Power is the kind of solar that could replace natural gas plants
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a dispatchable form of solar CSP power plants, like photovoltaic (PV) solar farms, are 100% solar and have stable prices, as both sell their projected generation over a 25-30 year [...]
Assessing the sustainability impacts of concentrated solar power deployment in Europe in the context of global value chains
Considering that CSP could be promoted in Europe, additional installed capacity will have positive or negative impacts on the economy, society and the environment, or trigger higher or lower energy supply dependence from non-European economies. [...]
