Solarsco2ol Project

solarsco2ol project, funded by ec horizon2020 programme, will look into development and demonstration of critical components for facilitating the near-term deployment of cost-effective csp plants using supercritical co2 cycles as potential future key technology for more grid-flexible and not-using water plants. over the next 48 months, the project will work towards the demonstration of a first-of-kind mw scale sco2 cycle operating from molten salts in an existing csp plant, for which a new mw-scale molten salt electric heater will also be developed. the 15-partner consortium is led by rina consulting and kth, with participation from estela, 3 other research centres (unige, ikerlan and certh), and 9 prominent industries from the csp and turbomachinery sectors (abengoa, magtel, masen, seico, lointek, mas europe, baker hughes, franco tosi meccanica, and ocmi otg).
