Absolicon has 2020-11-20 published a press release on the framework agreement with Avantiare Construcciones y Medioambiente, S.A. The following is an English summary of that press release.

Absolicon and Avantiare have signed a framework agreement for the acquisition of a production line for Absolicon’s T160 solar thermal collector establishment in Spain to provide the whole territory with advanced solar thermal solutions.

Spain is one of the solar market leader in Europe. The ideal solar resource and the good industrial panorama makes Spain a promising market for solar heat for industrial process (SHIP).

The heat consumed by the Spanish industries represents more than half of the total energy consumption, where 46 % comes from natural gas and 15 % from oil products. This emits approximately 20 million tons of CO₂* to the atmosphere every year.

Using Absolicon T160 solar collectors to reduce the use of fossil fuel in industrial processes, replacing only 10 % of the heat demand, will provide an estimated market potential of almost 5 million sqm (2.6 GW) solar collectors that will avoid emitting 2 million tons of CO₂ per year.

Avantiare is a construction company based in Sevilla, providing integral services to clients, from active participation to the drafting phase of the project itself. The collaboration is built on the work experience of Avantiare in the industrial sector, the environment industry and the renewable energy installations, as well as their solid establishment in the regions of Andalucía and Murcia.

The main segments of Absolicon's solar collector technology in the territory are**:

• Food processing
• Brewery
• Dairy
• Chemical

Content of the framework agreement

The framework agreement prescribes the general principles for the separate agreements to be drawn up, and the steps to be taken before a binding agreement for the acquisition of the production line can be signed.

Absolicon is a listed Swedish solar energy company, specializing in concentrated solar heating. The solar collector T160 operates up to 160°C and has the highest optical efficiency ever measured for a commercially available small parabolic trough. After achieving groundbreaking performance, Absolicon has built two robotized production lines, one in Sweden and one in China that can produce 50 MWp(th) annually, one 5.5 m2 solar collector every six minutes. The company combines solar energy research with sales of solar collector fields to industries that need heat and steam and complete robotic production lines for T160.
