Falling technology costs and growing carbon reduction objectives have spurred industrial companies to turn towards renewable energy solutions. A number of CSP developers are specialising in combined CSP-CSH (concentrated solar heat) plant configurations to tap the growing demand for industrial heat applications. Industrial heat makes up two-thirds of industrial energy demand and is responsible for …

Australian concentrated solar power (CSP) specialist Vast Solar plans to develop a hybrid project that comprises a 30 MW CSP facility with 10 hours of storage and a 20 MW PV plant, and to make this happen it needs to secure $75 million. The company said it was already working with ASX-listed financial services firm …
With the rise of China concentrated solar power (CSP) industry, especially after the launch of 1st batch of 20 demonstration projects in the year of 2016, an increasing number of Chinese local companies have been entering such an emerging new energy market, trying to get some share of this “big cake”. As CSP Focus gets …
The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan foresees that wind energy will go from an installed power of 22,925 MW in 2015 to 50,528 MW in 2030, and solar photovoltaic from 4,854 MW to 36,882 MW, while concentrated solar power goes from 2,300 MW to 7,303 MW. The National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (Pniec), …

Which solar energy technology will prevail? Concentrated Solar Power or Photovoltaic? In review of the latest developments in renewable, solar energy technologies one can establish that the answer to this question is rather controversial. In search of recent developments in the US energy industry and global economic and financial markets one can find conflicting evidence …
