US DOE Awarding Up To $62M for Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development

Green Car Congress

CSP technologies concentrate the sun’s energy and capture that energy as heat, which then drives an engine or turbine to produce electrical power. CSP plants can include low-cost energy storage, allowing them to provide electricity even when the sun is not shining. The system will also feature a thermal storage system.
