Bei der Entscheidung für ein Elektroauto spielen die Lademöglichkeiten für die meisten Autofahrer eine sehr wichtige Rolle. Während Eigenheimbesitzer sich meist recht gut versorgen können, sind die Voraussetzungen für Mieter und Bewohner von Mehrfamilienhäusern meist schlechter. Um das zu ändern, gibt es sowohl beim Mietrecht als auch für Bau- und Sanierung von Immobilien inzwischen neue Richtlinien. Wie kommt die Immobilienwirtschaft damit zurecht? Welche Herausforderungen sind damit verbunden? Und

TSEP#150 CSP – How Concentrated Solar Power Works

The smarter E Podcast ·

2023/09/14

A really hot topic: Using solar energy through highly concentrated mirror systems, we can achieve high temperatures of 150 - 1500 Celsius to drive power cycles (electricity generation) or industrial processes such as cement production or green hydrogen. The technology is commonly known as concentrating solar power (CSP) and typically includes storage to provide energy even when the sun is not shining. But how far along is CSP technology? How does it differ from PV? Where is the greatest potential

Mehrwert durch Parkplatz-PV: Photovoltaik-Überdachungen auf Parkplätzen sind in Teilen Deutschlands seit 2022 verpflichtend. Über versiegelten Flächen von Parkplätzen kann umweltfreundliche Sonnenenergie erzeugt werden. Eine flächendeckende Installation von PV-Anlagen auf Parkplätzen in Deutschland würde einem Potential von 59 GWp Leistung entsprechen.

The energy transition in Brazil has been playing a significant role again at least since the change of government a few months ago. For green hydrogen, the region in Brazil is very interesting as a raw material supplier for Europe. However, there are also exciting local applications - Brazil is the world's largest importer of fertilizers and its most important supplier is Russia. Green hydrogen could be used as a feedstock for local fertilizer production, reducing dependence on imports. Energy
