Partner presentations

On Thursday, 3 March, partner companies of the conference "Solar Process Heat" held short company and product presentations in English on their stands in Hall 20 at the trade show "Energiesparmesse": 10.00 Gasokol - stand 150 10.30 SOLution - stand 180

While solar heat for domestic and service applications has increasing market shares across Europe, solar process heat is still in its infancy. The potential is enormous: about 30% of the total industrial heat demand is at temperature levels below 100°C which can be provided from commercially available solar thermal collectors. The aim of the first ”International Solar Process Heat Conference“ is to present the technology solutions, market reports and best practice examples and to discuss strategies how to increase the market for solar process heat globally. The conference was held in the framework of the Intelligent Energy Europe project ”Solar Process Heat“, www.solar-process-heat.eu The conference was organised by O.Ö. Energiesparverband, the regional energy agency of Upper Austria, dedicated to sustainable energy market development.
Upper Austria as a leading solar thermal region in the world (0.7 m² solar thermal installed per capita) is the ideal location for this conference.
