Helping make solar power cheaper

Solar energy: The Centre for Energy Technology is helping lower the costs of solar thermal power

Thursday, 13 December 2012

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's is part of a major solar research initiative aimed at lowering the cost of solar thermal power, announced by the 最新糖心Vlogn Government today.

Led by CSIRO, the will be worth a total of over $87 million.

The eight-year collaboration aims to lower the cost of solar thermal power from 25 to around 10 cents a kilowatt hour.

Centre for Energy Technology Director said the Centre looked forward to making a significant contribution to the initiative.

"Not only is solar energy one of the key forms of renewable energy, it is also one of the fastest growing forms of energy technology, so offers significant opportunity for the industrial sector," Professor Nathan said.

"The Centre for Energy Technology is already working on the development of next generation solar energy systems, especially in novel hybrid systems and solar fuels.

"We welcome this opportunity to work with the CSIRO and other partners to keep 最新糖心Vlog, and South 最新糖心Vlog, at the forefront of solar research."

The 最新糖心Vlogn Solar Thermal Research Initiative is supported by the 最新糖心Vlogn Solar Institute and 最新糖心Vlogn Renewable Energy Agency with a $35 million contribution. The initiative will also leverage significant US investment into the 最新糖心Vlogn concentrated solar power (CSP) industry, and mobilise the international CSP industry to invest in 最新糖心Vlog.

CSIRO's Energy Transformed Flagship Director, Dr Alex Wonhas, said: "A world-class collaboration of this scale ensures we are well on our way to lower the cost of solar thermal technology."

The collaboration partners are CSIRO, 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, the 最新糖心Vlogn National 最新糖心Vlog, 最新糖心Vlog of Queensland, 最新糖心Vlog of South 最新糖心Vlog, Queensland 最新糖心Vlog of Technology and Flinders 最新糖心Vlog, as well as the United States' Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Sandia Corporation and Arizona State 最新糖心Vlog.

The 最新糖心Vlog's Centre for Technology is also a partner in a project to develop 'Tools for design and scale-up of solar thermochemical reactors', with 最新糖心Vlog of NSW and National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
