Solar thermal for hot water for domestic and industrial use

in
© Climate Tech Wiki - acc and respective owners

Solar thermal technology can be used to provide hot water for domestic or industrial uses. Recently, ‘combi’ systems have been introduced which can provide both space and water heating. Advances in the technology have provided so-called solar assisted air conditioning. The systems can be tailored to different needs and circumstances, such as industrial applications and domestic use.

Project developers of solar thermal energy projects in the CDM pipeline mainly apply the following methodologies:

ACM2 “Consolidated baseline methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources”
AMS- I.C. “Thermal energy production with or without electricity”
Further information on these metholodogies can be found here.

As of 1 February 2010, there are 10 solar thermal projects in the CDM pipeline - 5 are registered and 5 are at the validation stage. [media:image:3]

Example CDM project:
Title: Federal Intertrade Pengyang Solar Cooker Project (CDM Ref. No. 2307)
The Federal Intertrade Pengyang Solar Cooker Project is located on the dry land of southern Ningxia in northwestern China. Implemented by Ningxia Federal Intertrade Co., the proposed project will install 17,000 solar cookers for the poor rural residents in mountainous areas with a rural population of 92,331 (or 20,341 households). The project will cover 83.6% of the households in the project region. The rating power of each solar cooker is 773.5 W and the total capacity of the proposed project is 13.1 MW. The proposed project will enable the rural residents to efficiently substitute solar energy for the fossil fuel (coal) used in daily cooking and water boiling - avoiding CO2 emission that would be generated by fossil fuel consumption.
Project investment: USD 900,000 million
Project CO2 reduction over a crediting period of 10 years: 357,230 tCO2e
Expected CER revenue (USD 10/CER): USD 3,572,300

Solar Cooling and Hybrid Systems with Heating and Hot Water

Solar cooling technologies transform solar radiation to provide space cooling and refrigeration services. Air conditioning in buildings has traditionally been provided by air conditioners using electrically driven vapour compression chillers. These are responsible not only for GHG emissions, but also use CFCs and HCFCs and related compounds as refrigerant fluids, which also contribute to climate change and are known to deplete the ozone layer.

To promote SWH in Brazil through the improvement of technical standards and necessary policy and regulatory frameworks, as well as formulating a plan that could be monitored, evaluated and scaled up. In parallel, structure / improve SWH finance mechanism aimed at the lower income population.

Location

Brazil
15° 46' 46.92" S, 47° 55' 46.92" W
See map: Google Maps
Main activity and output: 
  • Hold an international seminar to exchange experience and information with leading SWH specialists and technology providers
  • Produce a white paper on the technology, finance, policy, environmental and social barriers that holds SWH development in Brazil
  • Define/improve technical standards for low income household SWH systems
  • Support the government in setting up a SWH finance mechanism for the low income population, operated by the National Housing Bank (CAIXA), integrating SWH into long-term finance during home construction.
  • Document gains in energy efficiency and GHG emissions reductions.
Expected impact: 
  • Avoidance of additional installed capacity of more than 1,000 MW by 2015 through installing SWH units.
  • SWH market growth rate increased in Brazil, particularly amongst low income families
  • Reduced energy bills for low income population, allowing income to cover expenses such as health care and education.
  • Clear SWH technical standards
  • Job creation in SWH installation and maintenance, design and production.
