Your partner for CSP
John Cockerill Energy Transition offers more than 15 years of experience in the CSP industry. This technology offers and set of key attributes to cope with the rising challenges of the energy transition era: dispatchability, flexibility, storage, hybridization potential, heat component, grid attributes such us inertia or frequency control and a high degree of localization for its supply chain and asset operation and maintenance.
Wide range of applications
Due to it’s characteristics, CSP can contribute with an important role in markets with a high penetration of intermittent renewables and an increasing curtailment, remote captive power where grid connection or eventually fossil fuels are not a possibility, green applications such us hydrogen, ammonia or desalinization or industries with medium or high temperature needs of “green heat”. Alone or in conjunction with photovoltaic and wind can deliver a very competitive levelized cost of energy.
Our portfolio
From John Cockerill Energy Transition we offer equipment and solutions around the steam generation, thermal storage and solar receivers. In solar receivers, we can capture the sun energy using molten salt or water to produce steam. In thermal storage, our extensive knowledge of molten salt allows us to design custom made solutions for each application. Lastly, in steam generation with molten salt, we carry a design efficient and resilient to transients and daily startups. Additionally, we can partner with other technology providers to offer a turnkey solution adapted to each project and location.
Innovation
We want to go beyond the state of the art of CSP. Therefore, we have under development and expecting a quick commercial deployment two pieces that should improve CSP drastically: (i) molten salt electrical heaters to be able to hybridize CSP with other intermittent renewables or directly with the grid and (ii) modular CSP, a new concept of central tower technology more flexible, efficient, redundant and scalable that should get CSP to its next level.
Guiding you
CSP plays a crucial role in the transition to cleaner energy systems. John Cockerill Energy Transition is your partner to guide and advise you through all the solutions available within CSP to tackle grid stability, curtailment, price volatility, peak power, grid augmentation or connection, industry decarbonization or captive power on demand.
