El autoconsumo termosolar se postula como alternativa al gas en procesos industriales

El coste de generar un megavatio hora térmico para procesos industriales varía entre 20 y 50 euros, mientras que el del gas no tiene techo y es altamente fluctuante. El autoconsumo termosolar se presenta como una alternativa al gas en procesos industriales, ya que puede proporcionar calor de manera estable y a un costo menor …

Vast secures $40 million to build its solar fuel plant at Port Augusta to supply green methanol for shipping

Cargo shipping will be very different in 2050. Increasingly, the shipping industry is looking at green fuels to decarbonize, like solar methanol (a solar fuel produced with solar thermochemistry) News Source: RenewEconomy The developers of a solar thermal powered methanol production facility that will supply green fuel for shipping and aviation have bedded down $A40 …

Published at Renewable Energy – The performance evaluation of the free-falling particle solar receiver with a novel zigzag mass-flow controlled particle release pattern

Abstract: A free-falling particle receiver is a promising technology to be used in concentrating solar power plants. In this study, an optical-thermal coupled model is established by combining a Monte Carlo ray-tracing method with a finite volume method to simulate the energy transfer processes in a solar power tower system employing a cavity receiver. Using …
