CSP Technology
CSP is a state-of-the-art electricity generation technology that converts solar energy into usable heat and electricity
A CSP plant is similar to a conventional power plant station where the fossil fuel has been replaced with the energy from the Sun

The Parabolic Trough is the most mature among all CSP technologies: 90% of operating plants and 70% of plants in the planning and construction phase.

Conclusion
CSP will become new alternative drivers for sustainable development along with other renewable energy resources.
The PRC has great potential to become a key player in the global CSP market The first generation CSP demonstration projects in PRC: Lessons learned from these demonstration projects will provide valuable insights into the selection of the most appropriate technology composition and the establishment of the appropriate tariff for CSP in the PRCs context. The successful completion of the first generation demonstration plant will make the significant impacts not only for the PRC but also the global CSP market as was the case in the global solar PV and wind power markets.
Looking Ahead
More advanced CSP hybrid project development (e.g.ISCC) The GOLDENDESERT Project: Regional technical assistance in building CSP plants in Gobi desert Identification of 1GW capacity CSP project
