SolarPACES

About

SolarPACES is a ngo headquartered in Switzerland specializing in Solar, Hydrogen, Energy Storage.

SolarPACES is an international network of research institutions and industry stakeholders operating under the International Energy Agency's Technology Collaboration Programmes framework. The organization coordinates research in concentrating solar power (CSP), solar process heat, and solar thermochemistry applications. It facilitates joint projects between countries, develops market standards and guidelines, and conducts strategic studies to advance dispatchable solar technologies for electricity generation and industrial heat processes. SolarPACES supports research at temperatures from 200°C to 1500°C for applications including utility-scale CSP with thermal storage, industrial steam generation, and solar fuel production (hydrogen, ammonia, jet fuel). The network comprises 16 member countries with an Executive Committee meeting twice yearly, coordinating five main research task areas and managing independent research facilities globally.
