The cost of renewable energy has significantly decreased in recent years, which marks the way towards a fully renewable and sustainable future. However, this energy transition is not possible without massive grid-scale energy storage technology since most of the renewable energies are highly variable. In areas with a high solar resource, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) [...]
The quest for sustainable and clean energy sources has propelled the development of various solar technologies to harness the abundant energy radiating from the sun. Among these technologies, Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems have emerged as promising solutions, each with its unique characteristics and applications. This column delves into a detailed comparison [...]
The aviation sector has charted a course to decarbonize itself – and investors see opportunity. According to BNEF, startups with a focus on low-carbon aviation technology raised $4.6 billion in 2022, and another $1.21 billion was added to that tally in the first half of 2023. Among venture capital and private equity investments, sustainable aviation [...]
As more and more wind power and photovoltaic power are connected to the electrical power system, it brings great challenges to the stability of power grid. Concentrated solar power (CSP) plant with thermal energy storage (TES) can undertake the task of load regulation and frequency regulation in power grid by balancing the electricity demand and [...]
The US government has finally unveiled its long-awaited proposed rules on clean hydrogen production, determining the criteria that developers will have to meet in order to qualify for the hydrogen tax credit of up to $3 per kilogram. The proposed guidelines closely match the draft version that was leaked to the press earlier this month, [...]
The boy who returns. The return of Concentrated Solar Power to guarantee green energy 24 hours a day
An old system is gaining popularity among researchers for its versatility and cost-effectiveness in providing clean fuel. Concentrated solar power (CSP), which had been nearly driven out of business by low-cost solar photovoltaics, is now making a comeback. Quantum learns that NTPC, the state-owned power generation company, recently sent out probes to several companies asking [...]
