๐Although the #NEXTOWER Project has reached its conclusion several months ago, we cannot fail to express, on behalf of the entire Consortium that was part of it, a great satisfaction for the presence at #COP27 in the section "Solar energy generation and storage".
๐ด There's a new Special Issue by MDPI about "Advanced Materials Solutions and Architectures for a New Generation of High-Efficiency CSP Plants".
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 20 February 2022.

๐ฅNEXTOWER review meeting has just finished!
๐ Many thanks to the Project Officer of the @EU_Commission Nerea Bilbao, to our Coordinator Antonio Rinaldi and to all the partners for their effort during these 4 years. Thanks to all for making this project a real success ๐#h2020
[6ยฐ Conferenza Internazionale #ICEAF]
Abbiamo presentato i risultati delle caratterizzazioni termo-fisiche e termo-meccaniche svolte nell'ambito del progetto di ricerca @H2020_Nextower.

โ๏ธ Renewable energy is playing an increasingly important role in the power grid. Nearly non-existent just 15 years ago, wind and solar energy provided over 8% of global electricity in 2019.

๐ช๐ธ A consortium led by Spanish renewable-energy companies Abengoa and Acciona connected a concentrated solar power (#CSP) unit to Chile's grid network in early April. The project is owned by U.S.-based EIG Global Energy Partners.

๐ฐ Companies connected 261 GW in new renewables to the grid last year, 45.1% more than in 2019, IRENA said in its annual report. Turkey was among the world champions in hydropower and geothermal energy.

๐ A new poster and a new brochure appeared on the #NEXTOWER website!
Definitely worth of a look, let us know what you think of them.
It's time to download them all!

โ๏ธ Despite our best efforts, humans are still far from capturing even a fraction of the sun's true energy potential. In fact, more than 10,000 times the earthโs total use of solar energy is striking the earth at any given moment.

โก The energy plant covers 44 square kilometres in #Dubaiโs southern desert and is equipped with millions of photovoltaic panels that convert the sunโs rays to about 1000 MW hourly that are capable of powering around 320,000 homes.

๐ฟ๐ฆ Located in the Northern Cape of South Africa, the 100 MW concentrated solar power plant, built by Abengoa, began operations in 2017. The plant is located nearby one of Engieโs existing 100 MW power plants, Kathu CSP.

๐ฐ โ๏ธ Unlike other projects, this system does not use photovoltaic panels, but rather a series of 10,600 mirrors (heliostats), which reflect sunlight by concentrating the heat on a receiver located at the top of the tower, 250 meters.

๐More than four years ago #NEXTOWER began a hopeful project that aimed to help the energy future of Europe thanks to the commitment of 19 partners spread throughout the continent.
Today, our journey ends, but many others will follow us, and we are proud of it!
