A concentrated solar heat (CSH) system installed in Italy next year will bring a new high-temperature technology to industrial heating. A group of European companies will build a pilot ceramic particle concentrated solar tower plant at a pasta factory owned by Barilla in Foggia. The ‘HiFlex’ plant will use centrifugal solar technology developed by the …
