The accelerating climate change and skyrocketing costs of fossil fuels clearly indicate the lack of alternatives to completely refocusing our global energy supply on renewable energy.
The question is: how quickly could such a change occur? The answer depends largely on two factors:
| |
|
|
Our advantage |
Lowering costs of renewable energy |
|
|
 |
Known as CSP (concentrating solar power), electric energy derived from solar thermal power plants costs half as much as photovoltaics. Using flat Fresnel collector fields instead of p arabolic trough technology - as solar thermal power plants have proven for years - could make this financial advantage even more attractive.
|
|
As a result, NOVATEC BioSol technology is based on Fresnel mirror technology.

|
|
|
Improving the availability of new technologies on the market |
|
|
|
A number of studies have predicted that of all renewable energy technologies, concentrating solar thermal power plants will experience the most growth due to their advantages in cost and availability.
|
|
In light of this, we at NOVATEC BioSol developed our solar field components, producing them in our own plants and in keeping with mass production requirements.
|
|
The source materials are simple sheet steel components and glass mirrors, both available in unlimited quantities.
|
|
Building up production capacities right in the market in question also creates enormous capacities for expanding solar power plants. |
