Protarget at SALTOpower Event - November 13-14, 2024, Universidade de Évora, Portugal
On November 13-14, 2024, Protarget’s Commercial Director, Martin Scheuerer, took part in the SALTOpower event at the Universidade de Évora in Portugal, presenting "Solar Thermal Energy Contracting – Sustainable and Cost-Efficient Process Heat on Demand." His session explored innovative contracting models for sustainable industrial process heat generation.
About SALTOpower: The SALTOpower project brings together Universidade de Évora, DLR, and ENEA to establish Europe’s premier research facility for molten salt (MS) technologies. This project advances MS-based energy storage and dispatchable power production, integrating renewable energy into power and gas grids to create a more resilient energy network.
SALTOpower Fast-Track School & Research Goals: The SALTOpower Fast-Track School supports emerging researchers in molten salt technology. Hosted by top European institutions, these sessions cover core topics like MS technology fundamentals and commercial viability, fostering the next generation of leaders in the clean energy sector.
Protarget’s Contribution: Martin Scheuerer’s presentation showcased that solar thermal energy contracting as a sustainable, cost-effective solution for industrial process heat needs, offering the complete range from design to operation.
Key Topics of the Presentation:
- Industrial dependence on fossil-fuel-based process heat and the need for sustainable alternatives.
- Solar thermal contracting as a practical, low-risk solution managed by Protarget from design to operation.
- Benefits for industry: minimized operational and financial risks, reduced CO₂ emissions, and significant long-term energy cost savings.
We’re proud to be part of this important initiative advancing clean energy solutions for the industry!
