When the solar thermal power Concentrated 61 plants are operating in 2014 Will Avoid 3.4 million tons of Emissions of C02 Into the atmosphere.

The solar thermal power twenty Concentrated Already operating plants in USA With An area of only 3002 hectares (0.006% of the Territory), According To the map with all sectors have published data on its official website of Protermosolar ( www.protermosolar.com ) association That encompasses the country's Concentrated solar energy industry, one of The Few Sectors in Which USA Maintains global leadership. The Ministry of Industry have GRANT permission for the construction of 61 solar thermal power plants in eleven provinces, Mostly in the southern half of the country. Of This amount, There are 21 Currently Operational, With an installed capacity of 852.4 MW, under construction There are twenty-seven, With a capacity of 1302.5 MW, and pre-assigned and pending construction, thirteen, With an output of 370.4 MW. When in 2014 all connected to They Are the network, United States Will Have 2525.30 MW of thermal solar Concentrated Between Six Different technologies spread. The 61 solar thermal plants in service Who Will Be in 2014 Will Occupy 112 km2 (10.6 square kilometers as of on a side or 0.02% of the country, Whose length is 504.645 km2, equivalent to a square of something else of 710 kilometers on a side) and Will generate 7298.25 GWh / year, enough to power 1,824,562 homes. And if all electricity generated in USA in 2010 (280 TWh) WAS induced in Concentrated Solar Thermal Power plants as the current needed to Occupy Would Have 4293 km2 (equivalent to 65.5 square kilometers to a side on), similar to 0.85% extension of Spanish territory (Less Than 1 Percent, When According To the latest scientific research in areas with severe Desertification USA Account for 29.3% of STI surface). Moreover, the twenty-operating thermal power plants Concentrated Solar Prevent the emission to the atmosphere of 1,181,908 tons of CO2, as Shown by the map Protermosolar . When all are operating under in 2014 Will Prevent the emission to the atmosphere of 3.4 million tons of CO2. The Concentrated solar energy or CSP, Along With biomass, is the only storable energy to be Used Even Depending on demand When The Sun does not shine . Currently, more central storage Gemasolar rating is operated by Torresol in Fuentes de Andalucía (Sevilla), fifteen hours. Thanks to this storage capacity, Became the first Gemasolar recently solar thermal power plant in the world Who solar electricity to shed the grid for twenty-four consecutive hours Without interruption. Beside helping to mitigates the high dependence by domestic Harnessing energy from the Renewable Resources like the sun, concentrating solar thermal power plants are the MOST create jobs, from engineering and design phase, manufacturing of equipment and-through the construction site historical Until inauguration. Each plant of 50 MW DURING All Phase Creates jobs (design, component manufacturing and installation) to an average of 2500 job equivalents / year, According To A Study commissioned by Protermosolar That Will be released in September, and 80% is domestic value added. Protermosolar, the Spanish Association of Solar Thermal Power Industry founded in 2004 WAS With The AIM of Promoting the Development of the Spanish Concentrated solar energy industry. Currently have around 100 Members Covering the Entire industry value chain. Also found is Protermosolar and vice president of ESTELA, ITS Europe Counterpart. www.protermosolar.com By José Santamarta www.helionoticias.es/
