Integrating solar thermal systems into various industrial processes can reduce fossil fuel usage, thereby mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
SINTEF collaborates with industrial stakeholders to develop and optimise solar thermal systems for the process industry. Our efforts involve identifying suitable industrial processes for solar thermal integration, developing and testing solar collectors and thermal storage systems, and optimising energy systems to maximise the utilisation of solar thermal energy.
By employing solar thermal energy in the process industry, industrial companies can lower energy costs, diversify energy sources, reduce environmental impact, and enhance the sustainability of the production process, aligning with REPowerEU principles. SINTEF also works on the development of intelligent control systems that can optimise solar thermal integration, ensuring efficient and reliable operation of solar thermal systems in the process industry.
Our services related to the integration of solar thermal energy in the process industry include:
-
Identification and evaluation of suitable industrial processes for solar thermal integration
- Design and development of solar collectors and thermal storage systems tailored to the needs of industrial enterprises
- Optimisation of energy systems for effective utilisation of solar thermal energy
- Development of intelligent control systems for the optimal operation of solar thermal systems
- Analysis and evaluation of the economic feasibility and environmental benefits of solar thermal integration in the process industry
We collaborate closely with industrial stakeholders in the process industry, including factories, chemical production facilities, the food and beverage sector, and other manufacturing industries. With extensive experience and expertise in solar thermal and energy systems, we offer tailored solutions that can help realise the potential of solar thermal integration in the process industry.
Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities of integrating solar thermal energy into your company. Together, we can contribute to a more sustainable and energy-efficient process industry through the use of solar thermal energy.
