It is generally known that CSP industry of Middle East & North Africa countries grows and thrives in recent years. As one of the most potential CSP markets, it has cleared goals to promote CSP development.

In order to help all CSP players deeply understand CSP markets and projects in Middle East & North Africa, promoting cooperation, connecting equipment and materials supply more efficiently with demand, CSP Focus MENA 2017 Sept.13-14 Dubai conference will take place during September 13-14 2017 in Dubai.

Royal Tech CSP Limited, as one of China leading CSP players will attend this conference with the other China and global CSP industry leaders, making in-depth communication with local enterprises to seek business cooperation.

China demonstration projects are under construction, Royal Tech hopes to promote the industrialization and commercialization of CSP technology by means of the conference, adding more Chinese elements into CSP overseas markets.

Founded in 2009, Royal Tech CSP Limited has been specialized in the R&D and industrialization of solar thermal key technologies based on broad cooperation with world famous scientific institutes like Fraunhofer ISE ,DLR and CIEMAT-PSA.

Royal Tech have been actively participating in the compilation of multiple International (IEC), national and industrial standards. We have made various breakthroughs in terms of technology and industrialization of vacuum receivers, and managed to supply large scale CSP power plants overseas, Royal Tech started early to successfully demonstrate our parabolic trough solar field capabilities, continuously verifying new components and technologies for solar thermal applications.

As a developer and technology provider, 250MW capacity of parabolic trough projects that we participated were selected into the first National CSP Demonstration Program. As another important business sector, we are making steady progress in solar process heat applications through several newly signed overseas projects.

Let’s meet in CSP Focus MENA 2017 Sept. in Dubai!

On 10th August, the curtain of the 3rd China Solar Thermal Electricity Conference fell. The closing ceremony was chaired by Shao Jixin, Vice Chairman of China National Solar Thermal Energy Alliance. Wang Zhifeng, Executive Vice Chairman congratulated the success of this meeting at the closing ceremony. Then he summed up the alliance work and the development of solar thermal power technology. He also hopes more young blood can enter CSP industry.

Wang Zhifeng, Executive Vice Chairman of China National Solar Thermal Energy Alliance announced that the next conference would be held in Changzhou and organized by Royal Tech CSP Limited.

George Dou, Strategy Director of Royal Tech, gave his thank to the government; Yi Yuechun, the 1st Chairman of China National Solar Thermal Energy Alliance; Executive Vice Chairman - Wang Zhifeng; Vice Chairman - Shao Jixin; Secretary General - Du Fengli and relevant fellow leaders and experts; He especially showed his respects and gratitude to Wang Zhifeng for his long-term support to CSP and Royal Tech Company. Then, George Dou shared the progress of the demonstration projects development & construction, supplying of the core components and the process heat and cooling applications.
