Methanol is used to make many chemicals, but what makes producing green methanol most interesting for the future is that the shipping industry, finally having to deal with climate emissions, considers green methanol the most viable alternative to today’s fossil-based marine gas oil. “In the last 12 months, major international [...]
One of the key challenges the world will need to face during the 21st century is global warming and the consequent climate change. Its presence is indisputable, and decarbonizing the gird emerges as one of the required pathways to achieve global sustainable objectives. Solar energy power plants have the potential [...]
Independent cooling, heating, energy storage and energy supply can be realized without relying on the power grid. The first Concentrated Solar Power prefabricated energy island in China has been built in Turpan Xiangtu Heat Economic and Industrial Park, and has now entered the verification and operation stage. With the help [...]
The present work assesses the direct contact cascaded immiscible phase change material (PCM) for solar heat storage systems (SHSS) in water heating applications. The direct contact cascaded immiscible PCM uses ternary salt mixture (TSM) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Improvement on phase behavior and thermal properties are obtained for the direct [...]
This work presents the design and techno-economic analysis of a 100 MWe concentrated solar power (CSP) system using a supercritical CO2 power block with 700 °C input temperature. Aiming to leverage the relatively higher efficiency of small heliostat fields and potential multi-build discounts, a numbering-up approach is examined, developing four [...]

On August 30, Huaneng Xi’an Thermal Power Research Institute Co., Ltd issued a public bidding announcement for its scientific research project molten salt electric heater. Project Overview: The project is located in the production area of Huaneng Dezhou Power Plant, and is a demonstration project for the development and application [...]
On August 23, Qinghai Provincial Development and Reform Commission and Qinghai Provincial Energy Bureau jointly issued the Implementation Plan of Carbon Peak in the Energy Sector of Qinghai Province(hereinafter referred to as the"Plan")and issued a notice. The Plan points out that to promote a multipolar support clean energy supply capacity. [...]
On August 28, Shandong Electric Power Engineering Consulting Institute Co., Ltd (about the national electricity for Henan Turpan, Xinjiang Shanshan QiKeTai 100 MW concentrated solar power project subject construction and installation engineering release the winning candidate, the winning bidder is China Energy Engineering Group Northwest City Construction Co., Ltd. According [...]
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), inspected the work progress at the 950MW 4th phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. This phase uses the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model with investments up to AED 15.78 billion. It is [...]
Integration concept of energy resources can complement between the competing energy technologies. This manuscript presents a comprehensive review on the state-of-the-art of concentrated solar power (CSP) integration technology with various energy sources. Compared to CSP alone, integration of CSP and fossil fuel provides promising solution to solar energy intermittence, emissions [...]
The storage capacity of concentrating solar power (CSP) can add significant value to a utility company's optimal mix of energy sources, a new report by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) suggests. The report found that CSP with a six-hour storage capacity can lower peak net [...]
The Crescent Dunes Concentrated Solar Power project in the US was the first of a kind at 110 MW. The first tower CSP with thermal energy storage at full-scale. (Above about 150 MW, the distances of the solar field encircling the tower receiver has optical limits) It was developed by [...]
