SOLPART participated in the 25th edition of SolarPACES, which took place in Daegu, South Korea from 1 to 4 October 2019.

SolarPACES is one of the most important international annual event in the field of concentrating solar power and chemical energy systems. It offers a wide forum for research, industry, politic, financing stakeholders as well as leading world experts from 40 countries.

CNRS-PROMES and DLR, two SOLPART partners, both presented a paper at SolarPACES 2019:

• CNRS-PROMES (Corresponding author: Gilles Flamant), Characterization of a Pilot Fluidized Bed Reactor for Solar Calcination Processes. Available for download: Presentation, Abstract, Submitted paper
• DLR (Corresponding author: Stefania Tescari), Solar Rotary Kiln for Continuous Treatment of Particle Material: Chemical Experiments from Micro to Milli Meter Particle Size. Available for download: Abstract, Submitted paper

The paper should be officially published by summer 2020. Also, the SOLPART team shared a booth in the exhibition area with other CSP projects funded under Horizon 2020, which gave us the opportunity to further network and present the project to interested participants.

The next edition of SolarPACES should take place in Albuqueque, New Mexico (USA) from September 29 to October 2 2020.
