Summary Report: The Australian CST Value Proposition

Summary

‍

The Australian Concentrating Solar Thermal Value Proposition’, commissioned by ASTRI, prepared by engineering firm Fichtner and assisted by ITP Thermal, assesses CST’s role and value across four Australian use cases: grid connected power; remote area power (mining); industrial process heat; and green fuels production.

‍

CST is a complementary technology and delivers the best energy system outcome, when it is integrated with theVRE technologies, solar PV and wind. CST can become a key enabler to fully replace dispatchable coal and gas-fired generation.
