The publication reports on parabolic trough systems and solar thermal process heat generation, indicating growth in industrial solar heat contracts.
The publication provides an insight into current developments in solar thermal process heat generation. In the first chapter, the experiences with the commissioning of a parabolic trough field at a chemical factory in Turnhout, Belgium are shared. Chapter 2 describes the layout of a parabolic trough field with pressurised water storage at a brewery in Seville, Spain. Finally, there is an overview of developments in solar thermal process heat: The share of concentrating collectors rised in 2023 and more developers signed heat supply contracts, mainly for large-scale solar industrial heat plants.
