In this solar technology, highly concentrated solar energy directly heats a solar reactor and drives a thermochemical process, using carbon dioxide and water as the raw materials to produce syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The syngas can be converted to liquid transportation fuels using established technologies such as Fischer-Tropsch. Solar reactor used …

Recently, the latest statistics of Gonghe 50 MW concentrated solar power plant, Qinghai Branch of China Power Construction New Energy Group, show that the cumulative power generation of the power station in April 2023 has completed 6,909 thousand KWH, which is the highest monthly power generation record ever since the unit was put into operation. …
On April 28, CGN New Energy (Ali) Co., Ltd issued an announcement on its 150 MW snow-covered plateau «Zero-carbon» light-storage thermal power demonstration project (50MW light-heat part) concentrating heat collection system equipment (re-bidding) of CGN New Energy Ngari Xizang. Project Overview: The proposed site of the project is about 7 km south of Shiquanhe Town, …
It is reported that each project department of China Energy Construction China Electric Engineering East China Institute sticks to the front line to ensure the orderly progress of project construction during the May Day. Among them, Akcel Huidong new energy solar thermal + photovoltaic pilot project is going all out to promote the project construction …
Morocco has big ambitions to export electricity produced by solar and wind farms to Europe, but should it be prioritising such renewable energy for its home market? «The resources we have here could be one of the big, big answers to European demand,» says Moroccan energy entrepreneur Moundir Zniber. Mr Zniber is a passionate man …

The molten salt mixture deployed in today’s commercial CSP plants for thermal energy storage is liquid at 565°C and degrades at higher temperatures. Yet higher temperatures would increase thermal efficiency. So how can we develop a molten salt mix that can reach temperatures up to 620°C without degradation? And at the same time, how can …

2023 China International CSP Conference & CSPPlaza 10th Annual Conference (CPC2023) is the largest, highest level, and the most professional annual event in China solar thermal power industry. It’s cosponsored by China solar thermal power authority media platform CSPPLAZA and the leading enterprise Cosin Solar Technology Co., Ltd. will be held on June 12th and …
Concentrated Solar Power is a multipurpose technology: it can generate electricity (day and night), it can produce heat for industrial processes (for drying and dehydration, sterilization, pasteurization, washing) and it can store energy (in thermal salt tanks that store the sun’s heat during the day and release it at night to generate energy). We spoke …
