Qian Feng, Chairman of Baowu Qingneng Company; Wang Li, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Board of SEPCO 3, and Liu Jiang, General Manager of CSNP attended the signing ceremony and …
The story behind concentrated solar power is complicated. But that’s not because it’s a poor resource. Using mirrors and towers, CSP can cleanly generate electricity, provide long-duration thermal energy storage, and decarbonize heavy industry by producing heat. Its attributes only increase in value with higher penetrations of intermittent renewables, like solar photovoltaics and wind. CSP …
