The cost of renewable energy has significantly decreased in recent years, which marks the way towards a fully renewable and sustainable future. However, this energy transition is not possible without massive grid-scale energy storage technology since most of the...
Source: Hydrogen Insight The US government has finally unveiled its long-awaited proposed rules on clean hydrogen production, determining the criteria that developers will have to meet in order to qualify for the hydrogen tax credit of up to $3 per kilogram. The...
Why standalone thermal energy storage has heated up It became apparent as CSP was commercialized that the low cost and durability of the thermal energy storage was its key advantage. Thermal energy storage makes it possible to deliver solar around the clock by storing...
Press Release: GlassPoint Unveils Technology Advancements Reducing Solar Steam Costs by 30% The new "Unify" storage system and redesigned structure enable lower-cost, zero-carbon, 24/7 industrial heat for the only solar steam solution proven at scale NEW YORK,...
In the first quarter of 2024, India plans to put out a tender for renewable energy that includes not just a carve-out, but the largest ever, requiring over 50% to be supplied by Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), the thermal form of solar electricity. There is renewed...
Abstract Thermal energy storage (TES) by means of phase change materials (PCM) is of great concern to decrease heating and cooling loads. In building envelopes, one of the most efficient TES methods is integration of PCMs with construction materials for preventing...
Update October 2024: This project won the SolarPACES Technology Innovation Award for 2024 The world’s largest concentrated solar power (CSP) project was inaugurated in Dubai on Wednesday as part of the fourth phase of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park....
