Dear Solarthermalworld.org Reader,
Rudolf
Berger, Managing Director of Fleischwaren Berger (first from right), is
satisfied with the performance of its 1,067 m² process heat
installation, which has been in operation since July 2013. The solar
plant can deliver usable heat at lower costs over a 25-year period than
the existing oil boiler. A 140 m² system with parabolic trough
collectors may follow soon. Solar process heat is one of the market
segments with the highest growth potential over the coming decades. It
could reduce the EU’s dependency on imported oil and gas significantly.
The
current security of supply emergency is mainly a heating crisis. Pedro
Dias, Secretary General of the European Solar Thermal Industry
Federation welcomed “the European Commission’s proposal that Member
States accelerate the fuel switch in the heating sector to renewable
heating technologies as one of the key actions to be implemented.”
Have a good read and sunny regards
