CST4ALL Industry Workshop on the hybridisation of Concentrated Solar Thermal Technologies (CST) with heat pumps will be held online on 29 October 2024 at 10:00 am (CET).
This 3-hour online workshop will assess the industrial potential of CST-heat pump integration concepts through keynote presentations by experts followed by roundtable discussions.
Keynote presentations will explore hybridisation opportunities of CST and heat pumps from both sectors’ perspectives, featuring also a case study on a hybrid CST-heat pump system used for industrial process heat in the pharmaceutical industry.
The roundtable discussion will cover the following topics:
Industrial maturity of technologies involved in hybrid CST-heat pump plants with respect to various applications.
Impact on bankability, funding opportunities and project de-risking for commercial projects.
Regional-specific conditions, including procurement mechanisms for cross-sector commercial projects, investment attractiveness, and sector integration priorities.
Skills development necessary to deploy and operate hybrid CST-heat pump plants in Europe.
Market potential, existing or future manufacturing facilities and project “pipeline” needed to stimulate manufacturing for European and export markets.
Expected contributions of research and innovation (R&I) to further advance CST-heat pump integration.
Registration is free and available via the CST4ALL Events page and the dedicated workshop webpage.
