Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology is being successfully applied to treat wastewater effectively and do so while driving down costs and lower carbon emissions. Source: Rioglass Wastewater treatment is an increasingly complex and resource intensive process. Many operators of wastewater processing plants have been looking for ways to lower their OPEX costs while using less …

The solar radiation from sun is the source of all natural forms of energy on earth. However, most of the incoming solar radiation is reflected back into outer space. The radiation reaching the earth’s surface has three components namely, visible light, ultraviolet and infrared radiation. About 40-45% of the received solar radiation lies in the …

The signing of an agreement between Namibia and Botswana to construct a mega solar photovoltaic project is imminent, Namibian Minister for Mines and Energy Tom Alweendo has shared. A full feasibility study will then follow to determine the location and size of the project setting in motion construction plans for the 5 GW solar project. …
The contract with Saesa will have a duration of eight years, began to operate on August 1, 2020 and will run until December 31, 2028. This is for up to 600 GWh/year, equivalent to 60% of the capacity of one of the concentrated solar power towers. One of the most iconic projects in the region, …
The development of Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy sector could lead to the creation of up to 750,000 jobs over the next decade, as the kingdom aims to derive 7 percent of its total electricity production from wind, photovoltaic and thermosolar by 2030. Solar photovoltaic and Concentrated Solar Power will account for 77 percent of all …
The Solatom Fresnel solar collector is designed to be shipped in a container IMAGE@Solatom When selling to any small business, it is psychologically easier to sell a product that is already made than a project that first will need to be constructed on site. Solatom, a new solar thermal firm has based their business model …

The Sun could be the world’s largest source of electricity by 2050, ahead of fossil fuels, wind energy, hydro and nuclear. Specifically, solar thermal electricity from concentrated solar power (CSP) systems could provide over 10 % of the world’s electricity by mid-century and prevent the emission of billions of tonnes of CO2 per year. This …
