Concentrated solar power is an old technology making a comeback. Here’s how it works – ABC News
Concentrated solar power is an old technology making a comeback, with the CSIRO forecasting it’ll be a cheaper form of storage than pumped hydro. Here’s how it works. — Read on http://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-04-06/concentrated-solar-power-technology-comeback-electricity-mirrors/102184372 What goes around welcome when it comes around
Fossil fuel giant Woodside turns to concentrated solar tech in new hydrogen play
Woodside invests in US concentrated solar technology with view to power, heat and hydrogen opportunities. — Read on reneweconomy.com.au/fossil-fuel-giant-woodside-turns-to-concentrated-solar-tech-in-new-hydrogen-play/ is this low cost attempt to pretend not really mega fossil Corp?
CSP For 5.57 cents/kWh
SEGS was put into service in the 1980s (yep, about 3 decades ago). With capital costs paid off and its initial power purchase agreement (PPA) over, owners of the project have been able to put in bids for new electricity … Continue reading
Why Pay Attention To The ‘Other’ Form Of Solar Power?
A 2014 independent market analysis projected that the global CSP market will see “phenomenal growth at a 19.4% CAGR [compound annual growth rate] between 2014 and 2020.” A global CSP market that was worth $2.5 billion in 2013 would hit nearly $8.7 … Continue reading

Letter to ARENA and Alinta: Why dump Port Augusta CST solar?
This has been a particularly convincing business case to drag Australia into the 21st century, with a CST(Concentrated Solar Thermal) power station. How about we write to add our support to make it happen? >readmore> RenewEconomy
EOR(Enhanced Oil Recovery) uses steam from concentrated solar
As we wait for electricity from CST(Concentrated Solar Thermal) – oil companies already have it!! High-temperature, high-pressure steam created by the sun is injected deep into oil wells, heating the area, to reduce viscosity of oil – so it’s easier … Continue reading
