OBJECTIVES - CSP2 Project (Concentrated Solar Power in Particules European Project)

The main objectives of the CSP2 project are:

To propose an alternative to current heat transfer fluid (HTF) for concentrating solar power (CSP) plants that can operate in a wide range of temperature (100°C-1000°C) without freezing and decomposition.
To develop the technology for using dense suspension of solid particles as new HTF and prove it at 150 kWth scale.
To design innovative solar-tower based plants operating with this new HTF and to derive cost estimation.
To promote the development of this innovation.
