According to Fady Elsayed Senior Project Development Manager, Southern Africa, at Infinity Power, the Egyptian Government has launched a tender for five concentrated solar power plants on the north coast: “The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) has launched a tender for the construction of five concentrated solar power (CSP) plants to power water desalination plants …
On September 7, we received the “Notification of Award” from CGN China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd., confirming that Cosin Solar has won the contract for Solar Field and MSR Systems equipment supply for the CGN New Energy Delingha 200MW CSP (the “Project”) . The Project is part of the phase I (including 800MW PV …
ENERGYNEST has finalized its second thermal energy storage project. On coming Wednesday, September 6, we will celebrate the inauguration for the renewable energy project to go into operation on site: Europe’s largest Concentrated Solar Thermal platform and Thermal Storage unit. Together with press, internal and external stakeholders and honorary guest like Tinne Van der Straeten, …
Methanol is used to make many chemicals, but what makes producing green methanol most interesting for the future is that the shipping industry, finally having to deal with climate emissions, considers green methanol the most viable alternative to today’s fossil-based marine gas oil. “In the last 12 months, major international shipping companies including Maersk, CMA …
Solar thermal energy turns out to be the key to China meeting its climate commitments. A new study investigates the best combination of renewables for providing the lowest cost to power system operators in two of China’s provinces best suited to scale up renewable energy. China’s power systems operators must invest in renewable energy to …

Danish renewable energy specialist Aalborg CSP has secured yet another order for an integrated heat pump system for the production of district heating. The order is awarded by the Danish utility company Envafors and is a turnkey contract consisting of a 10.2 MW air-to-water heat pump with associated pipes and exchangers. The contract, likewise, includes …
Synhelion’s solar receiver achieves a temperature of 1,500°C and higher. That’s unprecedented. Even the Gen3 particle-based solar receiver being pilot-scale tested now at Sandia – and the DLR CentRec receiver licensed to Heliogen – operate at the (relatively!) lower temperature of 1,000°C. One of Synhelion’s solar receivers is on the same tower as the 1,000°C …
