Solar Heat for Industrial Processes Sees Dynamic Market Growth with Major Installations in China, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Il Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) è un settore in crescita, con 120 MW installati nel 2023 e altri 125 MW in costruzione. Cina, Germania e Paesi Bassi guidano il mercato delle installazioni. Nel 2024, la tecnologia di concentrazione ha dominato con il 69% dei nuovi impianti grazie a una grande installazione cinese da 80 MW per un parco industriale. Dal 2017 si osserva uno sviluppo globale del mercato SHIP; attualmente ci sono progetti in corso o pianificati su tutti i continenti eccetto la Cina che rimane difficile da analizzare completamente. Le tecnologie includono collettori stazionari e concentratori solari come quelli usati nei modelli ESCO (Energy Service Company). Aziende come Classpoint negli USA offrono contratti di calore piuttosto che EPC tradizionali per grandi progetti industriali, inclusi settori chimici e farmaceutici oltre al food & beverage. Si prevede l'installazione di ulteriori sistemi entro il periodo dal 2025 al 2027 contribuendo alla decarbonizzazione dell’industria energetica mondiale.

Talk of session: Rethinking Heat - Solar Utility Scale Plants for Process Heat and District Heating

With the share of renewable energies in the heating sector remaining low, the heating transition is one of the major challenges on the way towards climate neutrality. Particularly in industry, where high temperatures are needed and cost pressure is high, reconciling profitability and decarbonization is an issue. Large solar thermal installations are on the rise in heating networks.This session will be discussing the potential of solar thermal technology, successful projects and current market developments. Presenters will provide exciting insights into applications, financing models and a glimpse into the future.
