An international team of engineers accepted the Technology Innovation Award at the 2023 Solar Power and Chemical Systems (SolarPACES) conference on 13 October. We spoke to Dr Juan Felipe Torres [...]
Heliogen, a leading AI-enabled concentrating solar energy technology provider, has reached two significant milestones in the development of its Capella Project. The Capella Project is the world’s first fully integrated [...]
Breakthrough solar thermal research is using ceramic particles that act like a battery, storing solar energy as heat. Concentrated solar thermal (CST) with ceramic particles offer a reliable, renewable power [...]
Conventional systems for producing hydrogen depend on fossil fuels, but the new system uses only concentrated solar power. MIT engineers aim to produce totally green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel with a [...]
The hybrid renewable energy system based on concentrated solar power (CSP) technology has been demonstrated as a promising approach to utilise renewable energy. To combine the configuration and operation with [...]
Australia could shave as much as $10 billion off the cost of the transition to a renewable grid by investing, now, in the development of very long duration energy storage [...]
Australia, despite its abundant solar energy resources, still heavily relies on fossil fuels for its electricity grid. However, a breakthrough in concentrated solar thermal (CST) research using ceramic particles could [...]
A worldwide survey of project developers shows an extremely positive trend for the next few years. 62 plants with 331 MW are being planned – half of them in Europe. [...]
Kuwait is set to advance its long-awaited 4-gigawatt (GW) Shagaya solar power project, with the Request for Qualification (RFQ) for various phases scheduled for release by the end of this [...]
