COMPASsCO2 Project in the news
COMPASsCO2 project featured at the European Health and Digital Executive Agency’s (HaDEA) COP27 side event
COMPASsCO2 project featured at the European Health and Digital Executive Agency’s (HaDEA) COP27 side event – “Solar energy generation and storage – more sustainable processes for the planet and people.”
Some of HaDEA’s projects funded under Horizon 2020 that are developing solutions to address the challenges of making renewable energy generation and storage as sustainable as possible were presented at a side-event organized by the EU within the framework of COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh on November 14th.
Featured projects include new battery technologies, concentrated solar power, power-to-x and improved photovoltaics, for a total of 15 projects, including COMPASsCO2.
A factsheet was prepared by the EC Communication services, which briefly presents the projects: https://hadea.ec.europa.eu/news/solar-energy-generation-and-storage-factsheet-available-2022-11-11_en
Proyecto COMPASsCO2: Hacia una producción de electricidad con CSP más eficiente
El 3 de noviembre de 2020 se celebró, de manera virtual y con un gran éxito de participación, la reunión de lanzamiento del proyecto H2020, COMPASsCO2 (« Components and Materials Performance for Advanced Solar Supercitical CO2 Power Plants »), en el que participan los departamento de Energía y de Tecnología del CIEMAT, a través de la Unidad de Concentración Solar (USSC) de la Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA-CIEMAT) y de la División de Materiales de Interés Energético (MEID).
Towards carbon neutrality with the COMPASsCO2 solar project
The research results of COMPASsCO2 (Equipment and Material Performance of Advanced Solar Supercritical CO2 Power Plants) are conducive to the ultimate realization of the use of supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) as the thermodynamic cycle working fluid of CSP stations.
