It has long been understood that the Southern Mediterranean has extremely abundant cheap solar energy resources and plentiful desert land to build it on. With those resources it could supply much of Europe’s green energy demand more cheaply than if Europe relies only on itself. Until now, Europe has failed to take that prospect very seriously. Yes, …

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 …
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 …
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.
