Solar CSP European Industrial Initiative Implementation Plan

Consequently, today the European Industry is the world leader in the sector of Solar Thermal Electricity (STE), also known as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). STE current trends demonstrate that STE technologies will be major contributors to a low carbon economy in a relatively close future. In order to maintain this leadership, efforts in innovation should be enhanced and fostered as the only way to move towards Solar Thermal Electricity capable of providing an affordable and dispatchable energy with a low environmental impact.

Highlights

SETIS LIBRARY: TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SHEETS: For a complete overview of all low-carbon energy technologies, read or download the SETIS Technology Information Sheets. They provide a snapshot of each technology’s installed capacity, ongoing R&D, barriers, needs, a ‘fact file’, infographics and more.

Announcement: Download the 2011 Capacities Map report, which provides an estimate of the current corporate and public research and development (R&D) investments in wind, PV and CSP in the EU-27.
