Call
Detailed Call Description
Support will be given to novel solutions that use concentrating solar thermal energy to generate power. In terms of power dispatchability, the novel solutions will have to ensure a performance at least equivalent to current commercial installations. Solutions that cogenerate power and heat are also in the scope. Moreover, solutions that support the concentrating solar thermal technology with photovoltaic technology are also in the scope.
Projects should assess the sustainability of the proposed solutions in environmental and socio-economic terms. Applicants are encouraged to consider a ‘circularity by design’ approach.
