concentrating solar power
Five of the projects will focus on advancing industrial uses for this technology, specifically in the cement, hydrogen and chemicals sectors
The 100MW concentrating solar power plant is predicted to be able to feed electricity to 200,000 households every year
The $4.4 billion project is expected to increase the share of Dubai’s clean energy to 25% by 2030, allowing a saving of 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide
Six new research and development projects that will help advance concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies have been given $10 million (£5.9m) in total by the US Government. CSP technologies use mirrors to focus and concentrate sunlight onto a single point where it is used to heat up a liquid, produce steam and turn turbines to […]
The International Energy Agency has predicted that up to 25% of global electricity could be generated by solar power by 2050. IEA executive director Nobuo Tanaka said that solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP) offer “considerable prospects for enhancing energy security while reducing energy-related CO2 emissions by almost six billion tonnes per year […]
