Decarbonizing industrial process heat
For energy-intensive industries, process heat is both the largest source of carbon emissions and the hardest to replace. The challenge is not the motivation - carbon pricing, regulatory pressure, and energy cost volatility are providing that. The challenge is finding engineering that understands the specific temperatures, pressures, and continuity requirements of a given process, and can assess which pathway (electrification, thermal storage, renewable heat, or a hybrid) actually works for that facility without interrupting production.
Aalborg CSP works with industrial operators to assess and engineer thermal systems that reduce or eliminate fossil fuel dependency in process heat applications. We work across a temperature range of 150°C to 850°C, covering the majority of industrial heat processes, and we are independent of technology suppliers. Our answer is always driven by what the process requires. From feasibility through to commissioned system, we stay with the project.
Some of the projects where clients have called us on
Heat, power and water — from the sun. Sundrop Farms, Australia.
Sundrop Farms needed heat, power, and fresh water for a large-scale greenhouse operation in the South Australian desert. Aalborg CSP delivered the complete integrated thermal system: concentrated solar power providing process heat, electricity generation, and desalinated water for year-round crop production.
