Dedicated to Continuous Innovation
On Tuesday 12 November CAPTure – Competitive Solar Power Towers project is organising a workshop dedicated to the value and role of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) for the future power grid with high shares of renewable energies. The workshop is an opportunity to learn more about the dispatchability due to cost effective thermal energy storage, …
Technologies developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and partner organizations have won nine 2019 R&D 100 awards. The awards program, sometimes called the «Oscars of Innovation,» honors revolutionary ideas in science and technology and the innovators behind them. Argonne submitted 12 technologies, eight of which were named as …

This week, the Cerro Dominador Group/EIG Global Energy Partners bought the Likana Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project from US-based SolarReserve, which was unable to complete the project. SolarReserve had already developed Likana by accomplishing the preliminary work of siting and monitoring local DNI and taking it through Chile’s environmental permitting process, but was unable to …
Egypt advances plan for five new CSP plants The Egyptian government and Cairo-based Smart Engineering Solutions are moving ahead with a plan to build five CSP plants for a total capacity of 250 MW, Egyptian media reported earlier this month. Smart Engineering Solutions plans to select the preferred technology supplier from a shortlist of 16 …
IMAGE@Azteq Source: Port Technology News The Port of Antwerp has inaugurated the first Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) in Europe as part of its efforts to make its operations more environmentally friendly. [Actually, there are many such projects in Europe: for example the many cities with solar district heat from Aalborg. CST (or CSH) provides just …
