Abstract: The publication provides an insight into current developments in solar thermal process heat generation. In the first chapter, the experiences with the commissioning of a parabolic trough field at a chemical factory in Turnhout, Belgium are shared. Chapter 2 describes the layout of a parabolic trough field with pressurised water storage at a brewery in Seville, Spain. Finally, there is an overview of developments in solar thermal process heat: The share of concentrating collectors rised in 2023 and more developers signed heat supply contracts, mainly for large-scale solar industrial heat plants.
