Cel

This Specific Support Action starts from the realisation that trough type solar concentration plants are a mature technology, which deserves to be diffused throughout the European Union and in the partner countries. This concept is shared by the European Commission, which has approved in 2005, among others, the FP6-INCO-MPC project REACt (Self-sufficient Renewable Energy Air-Conditioning system for Mediterranean countries) dedicated to solar trough concentrators for the generation of heat and refrigeration in Mediterranean countries.

This project aims to demonstrate that the technology is mature enough to be applied in relatively low technology countries. The present SSA is proposed by one of the group partners of the REACt project, with the approval and the encouragement of the REACt coordinator and the other partners. The idea is to find applications of the REACt system beyond heat and refrigeration. At the present stage, a number of possibilities have been identified; the main ones, which will be considered here are related to clean water production by processes such as solar distillation, atmospheric condensation, and waste processing.

The aim of this SSA is to investigate the possible applications of the REACt system in these areas, performing a complete feasibility study. Although the technical feasibility of the proposed applications is not in discussion, before attempting to put such applications into practice, it is essential to quantitatively assess their potential economical and environmental benefits in comparison to existing solutions. The results of the feasibility studies will be disseminate in the scientific and entrepreneurial community within the EU and Mediterranean partner countries and discussed in a conference to be held in one of the partner countries at the end of the project.

Every feasibility study will be grounded by climatic and socio-economic data gathered in one of the target country of the SSA project: Lebanon, Jordan and Morocco
