The CSP ERANET Additional Call is carried out by national and regional research and technology development (RTD) and innovation programmes, and national and regional Funding Agencies in the field of concentrating solar power (CSP) or solar thermal electricity (STE). The following countries and regions are participating in the CSP ERANET Additional Call: Germany and North-Rhine-Westphalia, Spain, Turkey, Switzerland and Israel.
Acciona leads the Si-CO industrial innovation project, which it is undertaking with a consortium of seven other institutions from three countries that are experienced in the key strategic areas of Concentrated Solar Power technology with the aim to design an innovative parabolic trough collector using a silicon-based heat transfer fluid operating at 430ºC, to increase performance and reduce costs. Check the following project press-releases on ACCIONA Social Network and FuturEnergy.
Next-CSP projects is coming to an end, therefore, the project consortium is organising the Final Info Day on Thursday, 8 July 2021, from 09:30 to 13:00 CET.
The SOCRATCES consortium organizes the CSP Projects Joint Webinar that will take place on the 25th June 2021. The aim of this webinar is to offer a place to share the experience of these projects on concentrated solar power and discuss the potential of Concentrated Solar Power Plants and its future within the Horizon Europe framework.
The CSP plant will contribute 100% renewable energy for the National Electrical System, produced during the day and night, in a flexible, reliable and safe way. It is the first CSP Plant in Latin America to Provide 100% Renewable Energy on 24-Hour Basis.
