Brazil: Industrial solar heat strategy and training

The international Solar Payback project has launched a series of training courses on industrial solar heat. The first course, held for three days in São Paulo, Brazil, from November 12 to 14, was well-received by the around 40 engineers, planners and industry representatives participating in it (see photo). The course materials can be downloaded for free, and more workshops will be held in India, South Africa and Mexico. The one in São Paulo also presented a chance to show a new 8-page flyer describing an Industrial Solar Heat Strategy for Brazil. It illustrates how, over the next five years, 7.5 million m² of collector area could be added in the pulp and paper, food and beverage, and chemical industries.
