Announcement: 27th Cologne Solar Colloquium

Cologne Solar Colloquium 2024
  • The Cologne Solar Colloquium will take place on 26 June 2024 in Jülich.
  • The motto is: "Solar Thermal Energy on the Rise - Perspectives for Heat Transition and Sustainable Fuels".
  • The event will highlight the increasing importance of solar thermal energy as a key technology for the heat transition, its potential for heat generation in various areas of application and its role in the production of sustainable fuels.

The program of the colloquium addresses various topics in the field of concentrating solar technologies, including qualification and measurement technology for industry, concentrating solar thermal energy for the heat transition and the large-scale development of CST components in DLR test facilities. Other presentations will provide an overview of solar production processes for synthetic fuels and the demonstration of solar chemical processes and components in DLR's Jülich facilities, the solar towers and the Synlight solar simulator. The challenges and opportunities of defossilization in the chemical industry will also be examined.

A highlight of the event is a visit to Synhelion's DAWN plant at Brainergy Park Jülich and a visit to the Jülich solar towers.

We warmly invite interested parties to Jülich to learn more about current developments in sustainable energy generation and to discuss current trends and the future of solar technology.

Registration is expected to be possible from 22 May. Further information can be found here and on LinkedIn.
