Duration: 2017-2020

DESCRIPTION

The Elcano Royal Institute participates in this project funded by the European Commission and coordinated by the Centre for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research (CIEMAT). Its goal is to explore and put forward solutions aimed at overcoming the problems impeding the current and future deployment of concentrated solar power projects capable of supplying renewable electricity to the countries of central and northern Europe.

To this end the project will analyse the barriers to the development of concentrated solar power and cooperation in the field of renewable energy in Europe, identifying possible opportunities and proposing concrete measures for driving the existing potential, in the light of the EU’s climate and energy framework for 2030.

PARTICIPANTS

As well as the Elcano Royal Institute, the following organisations take part in this project coordinated by CIEMAT: University of Piraeus Research Centre, Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule Zurich, Technische Universitaet Wien, European Solar Thermal Electricity Association, Cobra Instalaciones y Servicios S.A., Fraunhofer Gesellschaftzur Förderung der angewandten Forschunge.
