Image The Executive Committee of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Solar Heating and Cooling Technology Collaboration Programme (SHC TCP) invites applications for the position of SHC TCP Secretariat. The current SHC Secretariat will stop her activity on 31 December 2024 but will progressively finish work from 2024 over a transition period until 30 April 2025. …
Abstract: Efficient solar-to-fuel conversion is of paramount importance to gauge the competitiveness of solar fuel production methods and technologies. Solar thermochemical cycling (STC) has tremendous potential in this regard, yet the realization of which is critically contingent upon the synergy between the redox oxides and reactors of the STC. The evaluation and screening of redox …
Abstract: The imperative for economically viable sources of high-temperature heat without contributing to net carbon emissions has become a pressing global concern, particularly in the context of industrial chemical processes. Solar thermal heat generation emerges as a pivotal solution in addressing this formidable challenge. By concentrating sunlight to achieve high temperatures, solar thermal technology can …

Abstract: Solar cavity receivers are a crucial technology to transform solar energy into easily usable thermal energy. Various cavity receiver structures employing helical absorber tubes were investigated to provide either superheated steam or hot air efficiently. However, few studies have focused on receivers that generate both hot fluids simultaneously. The simultanoues generation can lead to …
Located in Guazhou County of northwest China’s Gansu Province, a novel dual tower/ dual solar field concentrated solar power (CSP) plant has started commissioning and testing and is expected to officially generate power by the end of this year, said its operator, the China Three Gorges Corporation, on Monday. The Three Gorges CSP project has …
