A year into their research, European scientists are on schedule to develop a new blended fluid system that could increase the efficiency of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) CSP plant cycles. The 5 million-euro ($5.5 million) SCARABEUS project will see researchers add small quantities of selected elements to pure CO2 to increase the efficiency of CSP …

Concentrated solar power can deliver greater grid stability than photovoltaics, but needs better recognition of its value to be competitive. Concentrated solar power’s failure to gain momentum in U.S. markets is a signal that traditional resource valuations may be slowing the energy transition, a February CSP conference made clear. CSP, which converts the sun’s heat …
