? NEWS FLASH ? The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced Multiscale Systems as one of six finalists of the American-Made Challenge Heliostat Prize. Multiscale will now advance to the “Assess” contest phase where we will advance our thermoplastic composite heliostat components from proof of concept to a prototype. Finalists have been awarded $180,000 each to develop their prototypes. Multiscale’s innovation focuses on replacing steel components within heliostat structures. Steel is costly, heavy, requires specialized equipment and training to install or repair, can rust and corrode, and suffers from volatile pricing. For concentrated solar power systems to compete effectively against other thermal energy sources like natural gas, it needs to be more cost effective. Thermoplastic composite components offer a compelling solution to this critical challenge. In addition to being significantly lighter they are: ?? UV and corrosion resistant ?? Sustainable and recyclable ??? Easier to install/repair ??? Experience less fatigue from thermal cycling ?? Able to take advantage of domestic scaled manufacturing Read the full news story: https://lnkd.in/eHFkzQkM

Direct Electrification, as in Electric Arc Furnaces, Resistance Heating etc, can reduce but not eliminate carbon. As long as the electricity used comes from fossil fuels. Major emitters of carbon like Steel, Cement, Glass, Fertilizers have to go deeper to reduce the carbon footprint.

Energy-storing carbon fibre composites pave the way to weightless batteries ? Sinonus, a spin-out from Chalmers Technical University (CTU) in Sweden, has developed a unique carbon fiber material that can store electrical energy, enabling energy storage in existing structures for a variety of industries – from electric vehicles and airplanes to wind turbine blades. ? The company was founded in 2022, a year after CTU researchers found a way to apply their carbon fiber composites to real-world applications. Presently, Sinonus says it is on the cusp of commercializing its technology. ? “Sinonus has developed an amazing carbon fiber composite that doubles as a battery,” Markus Zetterstr?m, wrote on LinkedIn as he accepted the role of the company’s CEO a month ago. “By substituting part of the structural material in systems/applications to our multipurpose composite, it’s possible to add electrical storage capacity at sustained weight and volume, or to decrease system weight and volume at sustained battery capacity (and of course some combination thereof).” ? The energy density of the material is dependent on the required structural and electrical properties of the application. ? “One might say that the higher the structural needs/specifications are, the lower the energy density becomes (and the other way around). While keeping a good structural capacity the possible span of energy density is around 25-50% of a conventional lithium-ion battery at current technology level,” Zetterstr?m tells ESS News.

?? ?????? ?????????????????????? ??????????! Proud to share our latest work, "???????? ??????????: ?????? ???????? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ??????????????????????," now published in Applied Thermal Engineering Journal! ?? This study investigates how absorber designs for solar photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collectors can be optimized for integration with ground source #heatpump (GSHP) systems. By employing advanced #numericalmodeling techniques we evaluated the impact of absorber geometry, material choices, fins, and forced convection on thermal performance. The investigation included the evaluation of annual thermal energy output, energy-to-mass, and energy-to-cost ratios, as well as exergy analysis, to provide a comprehensive understanding of design effectiveness from technical, economic, and resource efficiency perspectives. Our approach combined component-level investigations with system-level modeling to bridge the gap between design optimization and real-world application. This work offers valuable insights for manufacturers and researchers aiming to advance #solarPVT systems tailored for low-temperature #heating applications. A heartfelt thank you to my co-authors Nelson Sommerfeldt and Hatef Madani from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Christoph Reichl from AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, as well as to Mistra, Stiftelsen f?r milj?strategisk forskning for their support through the SmartSol2 project. ??

Join us July 25 for our next Innovation Builders webinar. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gaprwHAa As the world embraces net-zero energy solutions during the energy transition, we encounter novel processes. Some of these processes push even the highest alloy materials to their limits. Meanwhile, familiar materials can be applied to other new energy solutions, but their limitations under specific conditions must be thoroughly understood. Join Fluor Fellow Jan-Willem Rensman as he delves into perceived issues and practical engineering approaches for utilizing carbon steels in two critical areas: Liquefied CO2 Applications: Explore the unique challenges and opportunities when employing carbon steels in handling liquefied CO2, a crucial component of sustainable energy systems. Hydrogen Applications: Understand the implications of using carbon steels in hydrogen-related processes, considering safety, corrosion and performance factors. #BuildingABetterWorld #InnovationBuilders #Webinar #EnergyTransition
