INSHIP

Even though process heat has the highest potential among solar heating and cooling applications, Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) still presents accounts only for about 0.3% of total installed solar thermal capacity worldwide.

The INSHIP project focuses on engaging major European research institutes with recognized activities on SHIP, into an integrated structure that could successfully coordinate the achievement of the following objectives:

• more effective and intense cooperation between EU research institutions
• alignment of different SHIP related national research and funding programs, avoiding overlaps and duplications and identifying gaps
• acceleration of knowledge transfer to the European industry

The project aspires to become the reference organization to promote and coordinate the international cooperation in SHIP research from and to Europe, while developing coordinated R&D TRLs 2-5 activities with the ambition of progressing SHIP beyond the state-of-the-art through:

• an easier integration of low and medium temperature technologies suiting the operation, durability and reliability requirements of industrial end users
• expanding the range of SHIP applications to the Energy Intensive( EI) sector through the development of suitable process embedded solar concentrating technologies, overcoming the present barrier of applications only in the low and medium temperature ranges
• increasing the synergies within industrial parks, through centralized heat distribution networks and exploiting the potential synergies of these networks with district heating and with the electricity grid
