Vast Renewables Limited, a company specializing in concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) energy systems that generate zero-carbon, utility-scale electricity and industrial process heat, announced funding agreements of up to ~AUD $40 million for its solar methanol plant, SM1, in partnership with Mabanaft.

The solar industry has been experiencing a rapid transformation in recent years, with the introduction of new technologies and innovative solutions that are helping to drive down costs and increase efficiency. One of the most promising developments in this field is the emergence of High Efficiency Concentrated Solar Power (HECSP) systems, which have the potential to revolutionize the way we generate and consume clean, renewable energy. HECSP is a cutting-edge technology that combines the best aspects of traditional solar power generation methods with advanced engineering and materials science. At its core, HECSP uses a series of mirrors or lenses to ...

The Sahara has a lot of land and a lot of sun, making it an appealing place to site massive solar generating stations, and the Kingdom of Morocco is doing just that. Add substantial wind resources inland and on the coast and Morocco looks set to fulfill its declared intention of not only satisfying its own demands, but also becoming a regional exporter to North Africa and Europe. It has a total installed generating capacity of about 11,000 MW, 4,030 MW of which is renewables. An additional 4,516 MW of renewables is under construction or planned. King ...

An assessment of the cost/benefit of each green heat technology is timely, as countries that were most heavily dependent on Russian gas must rapidly decarbonize heavy industry as gas supplies dwindle from over 40% to under 10% and rise in price from 20 to 140 euros per MWh. At the plenary of the 2022 SolarPACES Conference, held this year in New Mexico, DLR Institute of Solar Research Director Robert Pitz-Paal told attendees that of the four ways for renewable heat to decarbonize German industry one of the best options to start is concentrated solar thermal (CST). However, with Germany ...
