The voice of global solar thermal power

World Solar Thermal Association (STELAWorld) will represent the sector of solar thermal in Europe, Australia and South Africa. Presented by the International Energy Agency (IEA) ministerial meeting in Paris, the newborn is associated with Estela from being a Europe tour and will be responsible for working with international agencies like the IEA, UNFCCC, the World Bank and the Fund International Monetary assisting policy makers and investors in accessing information on the CSP and its development in order to more quickly reduce production costs. The primary objective of STELAWorld will be to encourage the ministers of IEA member countries to commit to accelerate the conversion of the energy system towards sustainability based on solar resources, encouraging innovation and knowledge transfer, and the ' implementation of measures to accelerate the development of large-scale solar thermal energy. "The thermodynamic critical to the development of a world economy increasingly dependent on fossil fuels," said Pancho Ndebele, President of SASTELA, organization of solar power generation South African. "And 'most versatile form of renewable energy available to the world, safe and completely zero-carbon can be stored and released when it is needed most. It can also support job creation, industrialization in many of those regions of the world's poorest and most populated. "

Pending that the main organizations of the United States, India and the MENA regions participating, STELAWorld has already prepared the action plan: through its members promote the exchange of data and information from industry, research agencies , academic institutions and government agencies around the world for the production of solar thermal energy. "This helps our solar thermal electric systems to integrate a larger amount of more intermittent renewable sources, like wind and photovoltaics, with the ability to store energy and release it when you need it most," said Luis Crespo President of ESTELA. "This technology can greatly reduce, and in time eliminate the need for a backup made from fossil fuels to renewable sources discontinuous. Moreover, new technologies allow the transmission of electricity even in regions without ideal solar conditions, such as the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, using the thermodynamic energy produced from rich countries such as Spain and only Morocco ".
