At this point, CFS’s preferred approach is to use a blanket of molten salt, which could also breed tritium (also known as hydrogen-3), a rare isotope used to fuel magnetic confinement reactors. The molten salt will likely be a mixture of lithium fluoride and beryllium fluoride, known as FLiBe.

Solana will include six hours of molten salt thermal energy storage capability, which will allow energy to be dispatched as needed during cloudy periods and after sunset. Abengoa Solar signed a power purchase agreement with APS, the state’s largest electric utility, to sell the energy produced by Solana for a period of 30 years.

It primarily exploits renewable generating options, in particular hydropower, and supports the development of wind energy through purchases from independent power producers. Its sole shareholder is the Québec government. Its research institute, IREQ, conducts R&D in energy efficiency, energy storage and other energy-related fields.

Thermal Storage: Molten Salt Storage: This involves storing heat in molten salt and using it to generate steam, which then drives a turbine to produce electricity. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES): In CAES systems, excess electricity is used to compress air, which is then stored in underground caverns.
