This course explores Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP), focusing on processes, installations, and collector technologies. It takes a holistic approach to system optimisation and energy efficiency, covering everything from system design to performance optimisation. Learn how SHIP provides a clean, cost-effective alternative to fossil fuels.

• Provide examples of industrial processes that are suitable for SHIP
• Describe solar thermal collector technologies that can be used for SHIP
• Explain the basics of SHIP system design and feasibility analysis
• Describe the important practical considerations of SHIP to ensure good system performance
• Explain useful key performance indicators (KPIs) for performing an economic analysis of a SHIP proposal
• Describe the conditions that make SHIP installations economically attractive investment propositions

• Those who work in the solar thermal sector and want to learn more about the possibilities that SHIP offers
• Industrial plant owners, building services engineers, or energy managers in industry considering SHIP applications and systems
• Bankers or investors who want to learn more about SHIP opportunities
• Renewable energy and climate project developers and other professionals working in financial institutions, consultancies, and public organisations who want to learn more about implementing SHIP
