Protarget AG is proud to announce our participation in the Form Pro-Sol-Netz project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at integrating concentrating solar thermal energy (CSP) into process and district heating systems across Germany.
As part of a consortium of leading research institutes, planning offices, and technology providers, we are working to advance CSP technology as a cost-effective, climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels, especially for industrial applications requiring temperatures above 100°C. Recent studies show that CSP has the potential to significantly contribute to Germany’s transition to renewable energy sources, making it a key component of the country’s future energy mix.
At Protarget AG, we are focusing on developing innovative, cost-efficient components and technical solutions that will make CSP more accessible to industries and municipalities. Together with our partners, we are working on pilot projects to validate the performance and efficiency of these systems. These developments will pave the way for the broader use of solar thermal technologies in industrial process heat and district heating networks.
The Form Pro-Sol-Netz project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK), is designed not only to demonstrate the economic and technical viability of CSP but also to provide tools and resources for municipal utilities and system planners. The goal is to accelerate the market adoption of CSP technology in combination with other renewable energy sources, contributing to a secure and sustainable heat supply.
At Protarget AG, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in solar thermal energy. By reducing investment and operating costs while increasing the technical efficiency of CSP systems, we aim to make renewable heat a reliable and affordable option for industries and municipalities across Germany and beyond.
We look forward to sharing more about our progress in the coming months and contributing to the global effort to decarbonize the heat supply sector.
