Aalborg CSP contributes to green transition through the HELIOTROPE project

Aalborg CSP is part of the ambitious HELIOTROPE project, a research and development project under the HORIZON Europe programme, in which a number of partners from across Europe are also participating.

The HELIOTROPE project aims at developing new molten salt and material technologies for new thermal energy systems based on CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) technology. One of the objectives is to develop energy systems that can operate at temperatures of up to 850 °C. Current commercial molten salts typically decompose at lower temperatures.

By reaching 850 °C, it is possible to store and generate more energy, optimize efficiency and thus create a more cost-effective and sustainable energy system.

Aalborg CSP is supporting the project with both engineering and project management, as Aalborg CSP is responsible for defining the requirements for the development of the new thermal storage system. At Aalborg CSP, we have built up solid experience with the technologies that are central to the HELIOTROPE project, and we are proud to contribute to a more sustainable development within the energy sector.

The HELIOTROPE project is funded by the EU's Horizon Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No. 101147455 and will run from June 2024 to June 2028.
