Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

SOLARSTEAM INC.

$50,000.00

Prototype Solar Concentrator Design

FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-01

Summary
With more energy consumption of heat in the industrial sector than there is electricity consumed globally, the problem that SolarSteam is addressing is the high-cost and high-emissions associated with process heat. This Calgary-based renewable-technology company is developing novel concentrating solar systems designed for northern climate heat-intensive industry markets looking to improve performance and be more carbon and cost-effective. In this project, SolarSteam will complete the design of their prototype solar concentrator module..

Description (French)
La consommation de chaleur dans le secteur industriel étant supérieure à celle de l'électricité consommée dans le monde, le problème auquel SolarSteam s'attaque est le coût élevé et les fortes émissions associées à la chaleur industrielle. Cette entreprise de Calgary spécialisée dans les technologies renouvelables met au point de nouveaux systèmes solaires à concentration conçus pour les marchés industriels à forte intensité de chaleur du climat nordique, qui cherchent à améliorer leurs performances, à produire plus de carbone et à être plus rentables. Dans le cadre de ce projet, SolarSteam achèvera la conception de son prototype de module concentrateur solaire.
