Solar installation and solar central unit to produce steam at 4 bar.
The installation is built to showcase how the transition from fossil fuel to solar heating can work in Canary Island industries located at the Canary Islands Institute of Technology’s (ITC) facilities in Pozo Izquierdo (Gran Canaria).
In 2021 Absolicon won a procurement with ITC to install a concentrated solar field to produce steam. ITC sought disruptive technologies in the industrial sector to reduce the dependency and climate impact of fossil fuels.
Absolicon’s solar thermal installation now serve as a reference for industries in Canary Islands on how to introduce solar heat in their processes. ITC initiated the solar heating project based on a calculation that the industry in the Canary Islands can easily install 100,000 m2 of solar collectors and
replace 10,000 tonnes of fuels.
