Techno-economic and operational assessment of concentrated solar power plants with a dual supporting system

R. E. Gutierrez et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the benefits of integrating a full renewable dual back-up system in CSP plants, finding that the participation of biomass back-up can increase capacity factor and net electric efficiency, reduce generation costs, and achieve base-load plant operation.

Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions and net energy assessment of large-scale hydrogen production via electrolysis and solar PV

Graham Palmer et al.

Summary: Water electrolysis powered by solar photovoltaics is considered a promising green technology for producing hydrogen. In order to ensure its contribution to global energy decarbonisation, life cycle assessment and net energy analysis are important tools to evaluate its environmental impacts and energy balance. Despite initial findings of lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional steam methane reforming, sensitivity analysis reveals that solar-electrolysis may have comparable emissions under certain conditions. Further research and integration of LCA and NEA into project planning is recommended to promote green hydrogen production goals.
