Vast Solar has agreed to combine with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) backed by Nabors Industries (NBR.N) in a deal which will take the Australian company public in New York at a valuation of up to $586 million, the companies told Reuters. SPAC Nabors Energy Transition Corp (NETC.N) is combining with Sydney-based Vast, which …
The European Commission has published a Consultation on the Electricity Market Design. The Commission is particularly concerned about high electricity prices and has the objective to ensure consumers – both households and companies– can access affordable and secure energy from sustainable and renewable sources both now and in the long term. ESTELA, DCSP and Protermosolar …
Coupling with supercritical power cycle can improve the thermal efficiency of the concentrated solar system. Design the suitable thermal storage medium is critical to the new coupling system. A new ternary eutectic salt with low cost was developed composed of NaCl, Na2CO3, and Na2SO4 based on the calculation method of phase diagram, meeting the requirements of …
Vast Solar has welcomed the Minister for Climate Change and Energy’s and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s (ARENA) announcement that it has approved funding of $65 million for VS1, Vast Solar’s 30MW/ 288MWh reference plant in Port Augusta, South Australia. The funding is another step forward for the project, which will create hundreds of jobs …
At the last SolarPaces Conference in Albuquerque, a group of women researchers in Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) formed a group aiming to attract and empower women at all levels to develop the skills and expertise the technology requires to foster new leaders in accelerating the world’s energy towards renewables. The group has created a SolarPACES-affiliated …

HySiLabs has pioneered a method for storing hydrogen in a low-cost, non-toxic, non-explosive substance that is a liquid at ambient pressures and temperatures. The problem this solves: Every known method of shipping hydrogen has its drawbacks: Compressed H2 has a very low energy density by volume; liquid hydrogen requires storage at temperatures of minus 253°C; …

MASERMIC and SBP Sonne have completed the commissioning of the 50MW HAMI tower solar plant located in CHINA, XINJIANG province. It is based on the STELLIO heliostat solar field technology. The solar plant can supply energy to the grid for 22 hours thanks to a molten salt storage system, supplying more than 20,000 homes and …
SolarSteam was recently picked by Foresight Canada as one of the country’s most investable clean tech companies. The start-up uses concentrating solar thermal to produce hot water and steam for use by industrial and institutional clients that need to meet an initial 20% to 30% green energy target by 2030. “One of our recognitions was …
