Through networking, joint research activities and facilitating transnational access to research infrastructure, the EU-funded SFERA-II project has increased the scientific and technological knowledge base in the field of concentrating solar systems.
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a very promising source of renewable energy. Although its primary use is for generating bulk electricity, other applications are being developed, including for the production of hydrogen and solar fuels, water treatment and research in advanced materials. However, in order for these applications to move from the drawing board to market-ready solutions, additional testing and research is required.
