Next-Gen Concentrating Solar Power Research: Molten Salts Can Melt Down the Price of Concentrating Solar Power-Plus-Storage
Concentrating solar power has long held promise as a renewable energy technology. CSP uses mirrors, or heliostats, to harness the power of the sun by heating and storing an inexpensive medium such as sand, rocks, or molten salt for on-demand energy dispatch.
In March of 2021, DOE down-selected among the three pathways to fund further research into particle-based storage, but also created an opportunity for NREL to further develop the liquid pathway over the next two years.
