According to a recent study from market research firm Graphical Research, the Asia Pacific concentrated solar power market size is set to register a significant growth during the forecast timeframe. With Asian power demand moving at warp speed, the advancements across APAC concentrated solar power (CSP) market are difficult to ignore. 2020 proved to be a record year in terms of renewables adoption despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), over 261 GW of renewable energy was installed globally during 2020, marking a 50% rise when compared to 2019 figures and ...

The share of renewable energy in Dubai’s energy production mix now stands at 12.8%, and is expected to reach 14% by the end of 2022, mostly propelled by the sun, according to the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa). Total power production capacity of Dewa currently stands at 14,317 megawatts (MW), but the share of renewables will be ramped up significantly in the coming months. Current production capacity of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MBR) Solar Park is 1,827 MW (1.827 GW) using photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. Dewa is currently implementing projects in the ...

Australian renewable energy company Vast Solar is part of a US grouping that has received US$2.3 million from the US government to develop its concentrated solar power (CSP) technology. The company is developing modular solar thermal power, utilising liquid sodium as the solar heat transfer fluid. This is being deployed in VS1 in Port Augusta, South Australia, a 30MW concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) plant, which is supported with $110 million in concessional financing from the federal government. Vast Solar CEO Craig Wood took to social media and said: “The funding is part of $US24 million in grants ...

Abengoa informa de que ha obtenido el premio al proyecto solar del año de energías renovables 2022 por el proyecto Noor 1, que comprende la construcción de tres campos solares (200 MW cada uno) de colectores cilindroparabólicos en el complejo solar más grande del mundo: el Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (MBR), al sur de Dubái (Emiratos Árabes Unidos). En representación de Abengoa, Jesús Santos, director de Ingeniería, ha recogido el galardón en el marco del "Tercer Congreso Solar+Hidrógeno", que ha tenido lugar en Madrid (España), y de mano de Energy Box, organización dedicada a la difusión ...

Unique solar solution reduces energy costs, lowers carbon footprint and improves resiliency for industry Many industries require large amounts of both electricity and heat for their processes and operations. New modular, scalable CSP technology from U.S.-based 247Solar provides both round-the-clock clean power and industrial grade-heat, with few if any CO2 or other emissions. This offers unique benefits for industry: Improved economics: Reduce existing energy costs Earn revenue from carbon credits or offsets Lock in energy costs for decades Increased flexibility Grid independence; can work as a standalone system Reduce or eliminate demand charges Reduced carbon footprint Reduce existing ...
