The concentrating solar power industry – also known as solar thermal – has been defined by bankruptcies, failed projects, and high costs. But is it finding new life? Crystalline silicon photovoltaics won the race for solar power generation long ago. But there's a vital market it can't serve cheaply: industrial steam. And now out of bankruptcy, GlassPoint is hoping that solar thermal can find a competitive edge in the massive market for heat. Today: Editor Lisa Martine Jenkins presents a story from staff writer Maeve Allsup on the industrial niche that may pull concentrated solar out of obscurity.

A really hot topic: Using solar energy through highly concentrated mirror systems, we can achieve high temperatures of 150 - 1500 Celsius to drive power cycles (electricity generation) or industrial processes such as cement production or green hydrogen. The technology is commonly known as concentrating solar power (CSP) and typically includes storage to provide energy even when the sun is not shining. But how far along is CSP technology? How does it differ from PV? Where is the greatest potential? And what role will CSP play in a future renewable energy mix? We talk to Wes Stein. He is Chief Research Scientist for Solar Technologies at CSIRO, Australia's national science organization and chair of the SolarPaces Conference 2023. Timeline: 02:22 How does CSP work, what are the main advantages & differences to PV? 08:55 What role does CSP play in providing heat for industrial processes? 13:13 Current global market: What is the current market for CSP? Which countries & regions have the most potential? 17:56 Future prospects and current R&D hot topics Questions or suggestions? Then send us an email to podcast@thesmartere.com

When hurricane Ida struck the coast of Louisiana last weekend, almost to the day that Katrina did 16 years ago, comparisons between the two events were soon to follow. As the latest storm continues to wreak havoc and death further north in the US, Suzana Camargo of Columbia university talks to Roland Pease about the similarities and differences, the better forecasting available now, and the grim reality that climate change suggests for this and future hurricane seasons. A couple of weeks ago, Science in Action looked at the carbon accounting of Blue Hydrogen (hydrogen manufactured from fossil fuels). Listener Nick Arndt got in touch to say we were wrong when we stated that hydrogen can't be piped out of the ground from natural sources. His company, Sisprobe, plans to use its passive seismic prospecting technology to work with an international consortium that aims to unlock a new “hydrogen rush” – commercialising what they suspect to be a near-ubiquitous source of genuinely carbon-free fuel - to supply the world economy of the near future. Viacheslav Zgonnik - CEO of start-up Natural Hydrogen Energy LLC - has been working on hydrogen for 10 years, has written a recent review of the science, and tells Roland about current and future studies into finding the best way to tap this simplest of molecules before it escapes into space. In Chile, the recent megadrought has led to fears that hydroelectric damns may become so drained that power-outs may occur in the coming months. This will not help Chile to achieve its target of carbon-neutrality by 2050. Apt, then, that a new Concentrated Solar Power plant (CSP) is now up and running in the north of the country. Reporter Jane Chambers has been to visit Cerro Dominador – the spectacular new array of 10,600 mirrors that focus sunshine onto a molten salt target, heating it up to 560C, and generating up to 210 MW electricity. Meanwhile archaeologists have been doing a molecular analysis of a protein found to survive in the bones of unfortunate victims of the mount Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Despite the searing heat that killed inhabitants of nearby Herculaneum, Oliver Criag of York University has been able to examine the different isotopes in amino acids still recoverable from their bones to help identify what sorts of things these people ate during their tragically foreshortened lifetimes. A whole lot of cereals generally, but more interestingly, the men tended to eat more fish while the women seem to have consumed more meat and dairy. Our connection to the night sky spans cultures and millennia: observing the stars and planets helped our ancestors navigate the world, tell stories about the constellations, and understand our place in the universe. But these days, for the vast majority of us, seeing the stars is getting harder. 80% of people live under light polluted skies, and in many cities you're lucky to see a handful of stars at night. This state of affairs is bothering CrowdScience listener and keen stargazer Mo from Salt Lake City in the USA, who wonders if there's anything we can do about light pollution. Of course, we could simply turn out all the lights, but that's unrealistic. So what are smarter ways of lighting our communities to preserve our view of the cosmos? Increasingly worried by the effect of artificial lighting on the ability to observe stars, astronomer Dr Jason Pun set up a series of monitoring stations to continuously measure ‘sky glow'. By comparing sky glow across the world, he wants to figure out which approaches work best. One community taking an active approach is the South Downs National Park in South East England, one of a number of Dark Sky Reserves around the word. We visit the park and speak to the Dark Skies Officer there, to find out how people are coming together to turn down their lights and keep the night dark. And it's not just stargazing that's threatened by light pollution. Artificial light at night disrupts the circadian rhythms of wildlife. We visit a project in rural Germany looking into the benefits of dark-sky-friendly lighting on insect populations there. (Image credit: Scott Olson/Getty Images)

I månadens bonusintervju med solenergiföretaget Azelio (som sponsrar avsnittet) så pratar Micke Syding och Anna Svahn med företagets VD Jonas Eklind om bland annat vilken viktig funktion Azelio fyller på energimarknaden, vad som är unikt med Azelios teknik och vilka steg som kvarstår innan försäljningen kan växa på allvar. I nästa veckas Insiders publicerar vi vår syn på företagets potential och värdering. I bonusintervjun förklarar Jonas hur Azelios aluminiumbaserade värmelager (Thermal Energy Storage) värms upp av kundens solspeglar (Concentrated Solar Power) eller överskottsel från solceller eller vindkraftverk. Därefter kan energin tas ut i form av elektricitet efter behov, genom att låta värmen driva en Stirlingmotor. Azelio gör alltså att samma rena solenergi man har tillgång till på dagen i ett solkraftverk kan levereras säkert, stabilt och kostnadseffektivt när solen inte lyser. Jonas berättar vidare hur Azelios system är designat i så små moduler och enheter att de är lämpliga för enstaka sjukhus, fabriker eller byar bortom de stora elnäten. Kostnaden för den producerade elen blir med Azelios lösning betydligt lägre, än kostnaden för till exempel solceller med batterier och ännu mycket lägre än elektricitet producerad med dieselgeneratorer. Azelio har i olika former arbetat ända sedan 2006 med att testa och optimera sitt energisystem, så det här är inget vanligt mikrocap med under miljard i börsvärde, med obeprövad teknik eller ledning. Tvärtom har företaget bara några få milstolpar kvar innan seriös, kommersiell volymproduktion kan påbörjas enligt plan i juni 2021. De innefattar att avsluta systemverifieringen med Marockanska Masen, att genomföra en nyemission, påbörja mindre kommersiella projekt 2020 och till sist inleda produktion i industriell skala andra halvåret 2021. Azelio säger att företaget kan producera 1 500 moduler andra halvåret 2021. Därefter är de officiella produktionsmålen 6 000 moduler 2022 och 17 000 år 2023. Målet för 2023 motsvarar en försäljning på ungefär 15 miljarder kronor. I nästa veckas veckobrev (Insiders) kommer vi göra en noggrannare genomgång av verksamheten och företagets ekonomi och värdering. Se till att du och alla du känner som kan vara intresserade skriver upp sig för veckobrevet (här) så ni inte missar det i onödan.
