    Renewable energy benefits: Leveraging local capacity for concentrated solar power [Technical Report]
    (International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), 2025) García-Baños, Celia; Blanco, Manuel; Prieto Rios, Cristina; Silva Pérez, Manuel Antonio; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Ingeniería Energética; Renner, Michael; Universidad de Sevilla. TEP143: Termotecnia
    HIGHLIGHTS • Global concentrated solar power (CSP) capacity increased by five-fold over the past decade, from 1.2 gigawatts (GW) in 2010 to approximately 6.4 GW by 2020. But the growth trajectory has levelled off in subsequent years. • Through energy storage and grid stabilisation, CSP can play a crucial role in helping import-dependent nations achieve greater energy security. • In a scenario aligned with the Paris Agreement, global installed CSP capacity will need to reach 196.7 GW by 2030 and 872.6 GW by 2050. Such an expansion would entail cumulative investments of approximately USD 657 billion by 2030, followed by an additional USD 1.83 trillion in investments from 2030 to 2050. CSP could employ up to 767 000 people in this scenario, up from 80 000. • CSP offers the potential for substantial job growth. An evaluation of job distribution across the value chain’s primary segments reveals that establishing a 100 megawatt CSP plant with a ten-hour thermal energy storage capacity requires about 1.16 million person-days. • Labour is distributed unevenly across the value chain clustered in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) (46%), and operation and maintenance (O&M) (42%) sectors, and, to a lesser extent, in the manufacturing of essential components (9%). • A substantial portion of the CSP workforce (79%) has low- to medium-level technical skills, which are typically available within any national labour pool or can be developed through certification programmes or vocational training centres. • Many of these skillsets are already available in fossil-fired power plants, offering a valuable opportunity for workforce transition as the energy industry shifts towards renewable technologies. This transition not only leverages existing expertise but also facilitates the reskilling and upskilling of workers to meet the evolving demands of CSP. • Countries lacking domestic equipment manufacturing can still generate employment in other value chain segments, especially in the EPC and O&M sectors. • The deployment of CSP technology holds significant potential for local value creation. However, this potential can only be realised with policies that nurture local industry growth, foster innovation and engage communities. Strategic policy making can ensure that the socio-economic benefits of CSP projects are widely distributed and support the long-term sustainability of renewable energy initiatives.

    Proceedings of the 7th International Seminar on ORC Power System
    (Editorial Universidad de Sevilla, 2024) Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Ingeniería Energética; García Rodríguez, Lourdes; Sánchez Martínez, David Tomás
    Este volumen reúne casi un centenar de contribuciones aportadas por especialistas de diversos ámbitos al 7th International Seminar on Organic Rankine Cycle Power Systems (ORC 2023), que se celebró en Sevilla entre el 4 y el 6 de septiembre de 2023 y fue organizado por la Universidad de Sevilla en colaboración con el Knowledge Centre on Organic Rankine Cycle Technology (KCORC). Se trata de un encuentro internacional de carácter bianual que se ha constituido en una cita fundamental para abordar los avances en tecnología ORC y, en un contexto más amplio, en la transición energética. En ella se coordinan fabricantes de equipos, asociaciones profesionales, usuarios, inversores, responsables políticos, académicos y científicos. Los trabajos englobados en este volumen cubren una amplia variedad temática: integración de sistemas, diseño de componentes, rendimiento termodinámico, eficiencia energética, entre otros. Como novedad, en esta edición de 2023 se aceptaron trabajos sobre la tecnología de las bombas de calor.
