The optimisation of CSP, heat storage systems, generation of electricity and application for biomass pyrolysis is investigated in several Horizon Europe projects with which PYSOLO forms a Sisterhood. The four projects will join forces to push the uptake of CSP-technologies in the EU. The first joint activity by this sisterhood will be a webinar entitled “Facing high-temperature CSP for energy applications”. This webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, January 30th, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CET).

Marco Binotti, the coordinator of PYSOLO, will be one of the speakers.

Press Releases

In July 2023, the Horizon Europe Project PYSOLO (PYrolysis of biomass by concentrated SOLar pOwer) was officially launched and will be up and running for the next four years. The project aims to prepare the ground for a novel game-changing and fully renewable process combining concentrated solar power and biomass pyrolysis.

The heat from this process is transferred to the pyrolysis process that produces valuable bio-based products from second generation biomass. The infographic makes use of the project's colour code (brown, yellow, blue).
