Molten salt, which is produced by companies such as BASF, is being used in concentrating solar power plants to provide efficient thermal energy storage and is part of the overall solution to the question of the viability of renewable energy in the fight against climate change. Solar Thermal Energy: A [...]
Renewable energy has an important contribution to make in protecting the environment and climate. Solar power plants plays a particularly significant role here and has become more widespread in recent years due to photovoltaics. However, this technology does not yet offer an efficient means of energy storage. An alternative [...]

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) with thermal energy storage is a potential solution that reduces the variability of the aggregate renewable energy portfolios and provides a wide range of operational and reliability benefi
Novatec Solar and BASF have successfully commissioned a solar thermal demonstration plant based on a new type of molten salt technology, known as DMS technology.
Novatec Solar says the new Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant uses a process called direct molten salt or DMS technology – where inorganic salts are used as a heat transfer fluid rather than oils.
