Solar thermal energy offers a zero-carbon solution to meeting a large proportion of industrial heating demands in countries worldwide. Solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP) can generate water and steam with temperatures of up to around 260 °C.

Despite its potential and economic and environmental benefits, current deployment levels remain low. One reason for this is the need for more knowledge about this technology among key stakeholders such as building services engineers and other engineers, energy managers in industry, industrial plant owners, bankers, and investors.

This course is for those who want to understand when, why, and how SHIP can provide a practical and economically attractive alternative to heat production from fossil fuels.

The topics covered are:

Introduction to solar heat in industrial processes (SHIP)
SHIP collector technologies and storage systems
System design
Practical considerations to ensure good system performance
System economics

It is useful to have basic technical understanding of solar thermal technology as well as heating processes in industry to follow this course.
