Harnessing the powerful sunlight over the Sahara Desert could provide renewable energy that reduces carbon emissions and provides fresh economic value to the largely deserted area, analysts said. As global energy demand increases, scientists are looking more seriously at how to convert the scorching heat of the Sahara — which spans 9.2 million sq.km — …
On Tuesday 12 November CAPTure – Competitive Solar Power Towers project is organising a workshop dedicated to the value and role of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) for the future power grid with high shares of renewable energies. The workshop is an opportunity to learn more about the dispatchability due to cost effective thermal energy storage, …
Technologies developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and partner organizations have won nine 2019 R&D 100 awards. The awards program, sometimes called the «Oscars of Innovation,» honors revolutionary ideas in science and technology and the innovators behind them. Argonne submitted 12 technologies, eight of which were named as …

Andalusia is the Spanish region «with the greatest and best renewable resource», with 43% of the solar thermal megawatts (MW) installed in Spain; the first autonomous community in solar thermal power, surpassing the million square meters of solar collection surface; It has more than 1,000 photovoltaic MW in operation and solar radiation 13% higher than …
This week, the Cerro Dominador Group/EIG Global Energy Partners bought the Likana Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project from US-based SolarReserve, which was unable to complete the project. SolarReserve had already developed Likana by accomplishing the preliminary work of siting and monitoring local DNI and taking it through Chile’s environmental permitting process, but was unable to …
ROST International Trading Ltd and 247Solar Inc have announced an exclusive agreement for ROST to market 247Solar’s modular, scalable concentrated solar power (CSP) technology to the worldwide mining industry. The 247Solar Thermal Storage System stores the sun’s energy as heat instead of electricity, eliminating the need for costly batteries, to ensure 24/7 availability. To guarantee …
Although installed capacity has been stagnant since 2013, Spain remains at the forefront of the world in the Concentrated Solar Power sector. In addition, the objectives for 2030 provide for the update of new GW and a resurgence of this technology, which is emerging as the best complement for photovoltaics. The concentrating solar power installed …
