Within SolarEx Istanbul 2023, Turkey’s first and only solar energy-themed expo, our colleagues from ODTU-GUNAM and METU are organizing a mini-conference targeting market opportunities for CST with a focus on Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) to decarbonize industry. We are pleased to announce that Bérénice Crabs, the Secretary General of [...]
To increase the efficiency of concentrated solar power power plants, researchers have found a solution to avoid heat loss. They also use a more compact design and a new heat transfer medium. © Fraunhofer ISE On the test stand, the researchers extensively measured the entire system consisting of ceramic heat [...]
The K.EY – the Energy Transition Expo, to be held in Rimini from 22 to 24 March 2023, offers comprehensive showcase of technology, integrated solutions and services that can drive the energy transition towards a carbon neutral economy, connecting and bringing together stakeholders, players and leaders from the world of [...]
SEPCO3 and Baowu Clean Energy Co., Ltd. signed an EPC contract for the Tibet Zabuyeyuan Integrated Energy Supply Project in Shanghai. Qian Feng, Chairman of Baowu Qingneng Company; Wang Li, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of SEPCO 3, and Liu Jiang, General Manager of [...]
The story behind concentrated solar power is complicated. But that's not because it's a poor resource. Using mirrors and towers, CSP can cleanly generate electricity, provide long-duration thermal energy storage, and decarbonize heavy industry by producing heat. Its attributes only increase in value with higher penetrations of intermittent renewables, like [...]
SEPCO3 and BAOWU signed the EPC contract of Tibet Zabuye Integrated Energy Supply Project March 9, SEPCO3 and Baowu Clean Energy Co., Ltd. signed an EPC contract for the Tibet Zabuyeyuan Integrated Energy Supply Project in Shanghai. Qian Feng, Chairman of Baowu Qingneng Company; Wang Li, Secretary of the Party [...]
The heat sector is often referred to as the “elephant in the room”. However – a broad range of technologies is already available on the market to tackle this problem. Thermal technologies like concentrated solar power and thermal energy storage are key for decarbonizing energy systems. They enable the [...]
The Shams Concentrated Solar Power planr in the Al Dhafra Region will enter a new decade after a series of successes, underscoring the UAE’s leadership in renewable environmentally-friendly energy, and coinciding with the Year of Sustainability and the preparations to host COP28 in November 2023. Ten years after its establishment, [...]
For solar thermal systems to make solar fuels or provide industrial heat at temperatures at 1500°C, various designs for high-temperature solar receivers are being innovated to capture and convert concentrated solar heat directed from a solar field of heliostats. IMAGE@Casati et al. A water-cooled hot solar window from A Solar [...]
Drop-in fuels produced using solar energy can provide a viable pathway towards sustainable transportation, especially for the long-haul aviation sector which is strongly dependent on jet fuel. This study reports on the experimental testing of a solar reactor using concentrated solar energy for the production of syngas, a mixture of [...]
ESTELA and all of ASPIRE members welcome the European Commission’s proposal on the Electricity Market Design and its focus on creating favourable market conditions to boost investment in our essential technologies which provide stable and predictable supplies of renewable electricity to accelerate the replacement of the use of fossil [...]
Pasadena-headquartered Heliogen, Inc., a renewable energy company providing AI-enabled concentrated solar power, announced a new member appointed to its Board of Directors and changes in the board’s roles and committees. The company has appointed Roger A. Lazarus as a new board member and established a new Corporate Strategy Committee to advise [...]
Rebecca Mitchell works at NREL on algorithms to determine error of heliostats and she’s also creating a database on CSP education related materials. During the first networking event on March 9, 2023, she met with many CSP experts, who could provide her materials for her database. Also, Dr. Natalie Hanrieder [...]
