Eni for 2016 | Path to decarbonization

A project has been underway for some years to develop
innovative solutions for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) able
to reduce the costs of investment and production of solar power.
A low-cost parabolic solar collector has been developed in
collaboration with MIT. It is simple to make and assemble and so
it can be manufactured directly in the Countries in which it will be
installed, promoting local employment and development. Over the
year, the first full-scale prototype was built with the Politecnico
di Milano and tests were performed that confirmed the collector’s
originality and functionality.
