How concentrated solar power could fuel the future ---------------------------------------------------------------- What if we could not only harness the power of the sun, but actually use it to run the entire planet? Concentrated solar power (CSP) has the potential to do just that — using arrays of revolving mirrors called heliostats, light is reflected into a massive receiver. Thanks to recent advancements in technology, the cost to replicate these Sunlight Refineries™ is dropping. Soon solar energy will be cleaner and cheaper than using fossil fuels, which could mean adoption on a global scale. Heliogen, a company founded by Bill Gross and backed by Bill Gates, wants to eliminate all uses of fossil fuels. Using cameras, AI, and machine learning, they are working to make these CSP systems smarter and much more efficient.

It's actually... One enormous, very accurate magnifying glass. NARRATOR: This magnifying glass has a technical name, a sunlight refinery. To use it, find somewhere really sunny, plop down a bunch of mirrors, bounce the sunlight into a single spot and you can melt just about anything. Okay, so it is kind of death ray-ish. Why do this? Because manufacturing steel or cement requires a lot of heat and making something super hot has historically meant burning dinosaurs... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of "Insiders Guide to Energy," we explore the pivotal role of thermal energy storage and Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) in achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The discussion centers on the advancements in long-duration energy storage, particularly focusing on thermal storage powered by CSP, an underutilized tool in the energy transition. Hosts Chris Sass and Jeff McAulay engage with Christie Obiaya, CEO of HelioGen, to uncover the challenges and opportunities presented by this technology.The Current Landscape and Challenges: The episode begins with an overview of the current state and growth of long-duration energy storage solutions, mainly focusing on batteries and highlights the untapped potential of CSP. It examines why CSP, despite its simpler and potentially more cost-effective nature compared to traditional photovoltaic systems, hasn't scaled as expected. The conversation delves into historical challenges faced by CSP, such as execution risk and commercial incentives, which previously hindered its widespread adoption.Technological Innovations and Global Deployments:The dialogue shifts to innovations in CSP technology, particularly focusing on advancements by HelioGen that enable higher operating temperatures and a broader range of applications, including industrial heat decarbonization. The global landscape of CSP deployments is explored, noting significant projects in regions like Dubai, South Africa, Morocco, Spain, and China. These projects leverage lessons learned to overcome past obstacles and showcase the growing confidence in CSP technologies.Addressing Misconceptions and Market Potential: The conversation tackles misconceptions surrounding CSP, particularly regarding its geographical applicability. The experts argue that the total addressable market for CSP is vast, especially in regions abundant in sunlight which are crucial for industrial activities like mining and manufacturing. They discuss the dual utility and industrial applications of CSP, emphasizing its significant role in decarbonizing energy-intensive industries.Challenges and Future Directions:The episode examines the ongoing challenges facing CSP, such as land use and public awareness. It emphasizes the need for an integrated approach to energy solutions, combining CSP with photovoltaic systems and other renewable resources to achieve a sustainable energy future. The discussion also highlights the importance of policies and incentives, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, in promoting the deployment of CSP technologies.Personal Journey and Final Thoughts:Concluding the episode, the speakers share their personal journeys into the renewable energy sector. They stress the importance of diverse experiences and multidisciplinary approaches in solving the complex challenges of the energy transition. The guests offer advice to aspiring professionals and students, encouraging them to embrace unexpected opportunities in the renewable energy landscape.

Christie Obiaya CEO joined Heliogen two-and-a-half years ago to help advance the energy transition by using concentrated solar.  On episode 210 learn how a field of mirrors called heliostats create dispatchable energy by using the sun's heat to their benefit.  With the access energy being stored in molten salt, hot … The post Field of mirrors leads to dispatchable energy, storage, and more appeared first on eRENEWABLE.

On Today's Episode: Over a decade ago, the majority of the large scale solar projects announced, in the queue across the US and backed by major PE firms were not the flat panel PV farms we now see covering the landscape. No, the majority of solar when I entered the industry at the turn of the first decade of this century was concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) and it's a technology that is both highly promising and has been highly fraught with challenges. As China leaned into building large manufacturing complexes around crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, the economics of CSP evaporated, seemingly overnight. Many today would likely tell you that CSP is, well, Dead.Christie Obiaya would like to tell you a different story, one that illuminates the reality that timing is everything, and as so often is the case, CSP was a promising technology that was pushed into the limelight before software was available to provide the kinds of tight controls necessary to really make it feasible at scale. Obiaya is the CEO of Heliogen, a company that utilizes a distinctive combination of concentrated solar thermal technology (CSP), AI, and novel hardware to precisely capture heat for long duration energy storage (10+ hours) and essentially create a thermal battery, or, as she refers to it, a “solar refinery”.This discussion provides an inside look at how Heliogen leverages advancements in GPUs, AI and more to decarbonize hard-to-abate industrial sectors, and what this means for our broader fight against climate change. Learn about Christie Obiaya's inspiring journey, her perspective on the future of renewable energy, and some of Heliogen's current and future projects that strategically positions them in a competitive domestic clean energy market.

Welcome to the Evolution Show! This is the podcast version, for video check out Evolution Show on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRZFTtHELIQ With a security and humaniatarian crisis in Ukraine my thoughts are with the Ukrainian people! The crisis has also revealed Europe´s unsustainable dependance on fossil fuels, especially oil and natural gas. BUT there is still hope!! Today more than 50 % of the energy use (globally and in Europe) comes from heating our buildings and industries but most of it is wasted heat and comes from burning fossil fuels. Yet there is a solar technology ready today to harvest the heat from the sun much more efficiently, with much less energy lost and no emissions! In today´s episode on the Evolution Show I talk with Joakim Byström, the CEO and founder of Absolicon, a world leader in solar collectors with an efficiency of 74 %! We talk about what makes these collectors so useful and how these solar collectors already are combined with energy storage in Denmark where the excess heat from hot summer is stored in huge water containers in the ground, storing enough heat to meet the demand for large communities even cities a whole winter! We also talk about how Absolicon´s solar collectors are being used at the world´s largest desalination plant in Saudi Arabia and at several other industrial facilities. I hope you like the episode! Tell me what you think about Absolion´s solar collectors or other smart ways to store heat using renewable tech, in the comments section below!
