Morocco Pioneers PV with Thermal Storage at 800 MW Midelt Cocentrated Solar Power Project
Morocco’s 800 MW solar hybrid project at Midelt will be the first solar project in the world to include thermal (heat) storage of PV (Photovoltaic) as well as CSP (Concentrated Solar Power). Midelt’s first-of-a-kind hybrid solar and shared storage project will deliver dispatchable solar at 7 cents per kWh. To date, when PV solar projects …

Protermosolar: The Concentrated Solar Power continues its activity during the coranavirus pandemic in Spain
The extraordinary protection measures and the change in the organization of work have allowed the activity of Concentrating Solar Power to continue normally during the entire state of alarm. The fifty solar thermal plants in Spain continue, from the start of the state of alarm, producing renewable energy thanks to the protection measures taken, which …
ChumillasTechnology, in the largest Concentrated Solar Power plant in Latin America
Once again, ChumillasTechnology has participated in the melting process of of salts from the Atacama Desert at Cerro Dominador solar thermal plant based in Chile. Together with its Herlogas partner , the salt-melting ratios have been increased finishing the process in only 56 days, which is a great success. The in Latin America is being …
The Noor Concentrated Solar Power Complex and BASF’s 24-Hour Molten Salt Solutions
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 Brief History 800 BC …
SUPCON Solar to restart a 135MW tower concentrated solar power plant under China CSP demonstration program
Zhejiang Supcon Solar Technology Co., Ltd. (shorted as Supcon Solar), a leading CSP project developer and EPC contractor in China told CSP Focus that the Huanghe Hydropower Development 135MW Molten Salt Tower Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Project was already transferred to SUPCON and would be restarted soon. The Huanghe project was selected as one of …
Cerro Dominador finished smelting 46,000 tons of molten salts for concentrated solar power project
As reported by the company developing the project, «the salts produced by the SQM mining company have the capacity to conserve the energy captured during the day by the plant and maintain it in a tank storage system.» The development of the Cerro Dominador thermosolar project met a new milestone: to finish smelting 46,000 tons …
How Much Land Would Concentrated Solar Power Need to make All Our Aviation Fuel?
The latest figures for aviation fuel use per year show that the world used 300 megatons of jet fuel annually in 2019, manufacturing them from fossil fuels. But a carbon-constrained future requires us to envision a world that can produce that much aviation fuel for commercial aircraft, but without carbon emissions. A promising technology (see …
