With 51% renewable energy, China's 50% renewable target for 2025 has been just met in 2023 BEIJING, June 12 (Reuters) - China's non-fossil fuel energy sources now exceed 50% of its total installed electricity generation capacity, state media outlet Xinhua said on...
Engineers tell Spain that only an annual CSP quota for solar thermal energy in the next auctions can achieve the goals the country has set for 2030
40 Projects Across 21 States Will Advance Technologies to Decarbonize American Industry and Help Create Good-Paying Jobs WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $135 million for 40 projects that will reduce carbon pollution from the...
Major changes for Chile's next auction include incentives for energy storage and non-variable renewables like CSP, a splitting of the auction into three geographic zones (north, central, south), an increase in contract length to 20 years, and the possibility of...
Abstract: Solid particles-based direct solar absorbing heat transfer fluid (HTF) and thermal energy storage (TES) material is gaining increasing interest for high-temperature concentrating solar power (CSP). However, there is no particulate material that...
Solar fuels are made using thermochemistry driven by direct heat from the sun In this process, solar thermal energy provides the heat for thermochemical reactions to produce new compounds such as green hydrogen or sustainable aviation fuel. Highly concentrated solar...

Source: Sci Tech Daily The future of sustainable energy storage might be found in commonplace materials such as rocks, specifically soapstone and granite, in combination with solar power, according to a study published in ACS Omega. The next generation of sustainable...
Abstract: New analysis is presented identifying strong potential for Concentrating Solar Thermal technology (CST) to be a cost-effective contributor to future sources of net zero-emissions, high temperature industrial process heat relative to other emerging options....
Abstract: Wind-induced tracking deviations of heliostats can be analyzed through numerical simulations or experimental studies on a full-scale heliostat. However, these methods are relatively costly and often, simpler estimations are necessary and sufficient. One...
Abstract: Catalytic sulphur trioxide splitting is the highest-temperature (850–900 °C), endothermic step of several sulphur-based thermochemical cycles targeted to production of hydrogen or solid sulphur. The demonstrated capability of centrifugal particle solar...
Abstract: Solar receivers and reactors are critical equipment to convert high-flux solar energy into thermal and chemical energy. However, the high flux solar energy is highly uneven and may shorten the solar receiver and reactor life due to considerable fatigue...
Abstract: Nanoparticle dispersions at a minute concentration in salt mixtures have recently been reported to significantly increase their specific heat capacity. However, there is a discrepancy between experimental results reported for the same kind of molten...
Fractal steel texturing could solve the corrosive effect of higher temperature solar salts in tomorrow's Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) We recently caught up with Dr. Ranga Pitchumani, who was the Chief Scientist for the SunShot Initiative, Founding Director of its...
Despite a renewable capacity of 2.6 times peak demand, Spain's intermittent renewables do not provide grid needs for operating reserves and frequency stability, so they have not displaced conventional fossil technologies Source: EVWind Each MW of solar thermal power...
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Sandia National Laboratories, co-leads of the Heliostat Consortium, announced seven awardees from a request for proposals (RFP) aimed at achieving DOE’s goals for heliostat cost...
Abstract: Considering that CSP could be promoted in Europe, additional installed capacity will have positive or negative impacts on the economy, society and the environment, or trigger higher or lower energy supply dependence from non-European economies. Components...
