Thermosiphon systems account for more than half of the total installed solar thermal capacity worldwide (status at the end of 2022), but little is published about them. The scientists from […]Read More
Over the past three years, a distinguished team of 60 researchers from 14 different countries has collaborated intensively on advancing the characterization and optimization of compact thermal energy storage (CTES) […]Read More
Evaluating the performance of solar thermal plants is of great interest for operators and it provides a basis for optimizations. A tool for this task is SunPeek, which met with […]Read More
The IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme has strengthened its worldwide presence and broadened its range of research topics. During its Executive Committee meeting in Norway in June 2023 it […]Read More
In future, a lot of green hydrogen will be needed in industry as an energy carrier. Currently, this green hydrogen is produced in electrolysers that are dependent on renewable electricity. […]Read More
In a circular economy the efficient supply of carbon-free energy and the recovery of resources as well as the treatment of wastewater must go hand in hand. In the IEA […]Read More
Solar Heat Worldwide 2023 reports mixed growth for solar thermal. While solar thermal markets grew, particularly in Europe, the global market was overshadowed by declines in the two largest markets, […]Read More
