SCARABEUS presented at the H2020 InfoDay for Societal Challenge 3–Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy organized at University of Seville, Spain

SCARABEUS presented at the 3rd European Conference on Supercritical CO2 in Paris

Kick-Off meeting held in Brussels (Apr 29, 2019)

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The SCARABEUS project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N° 814985

AIM

The aim of the SCARABEUS project is to demonstrate that the application of supercritical CO2 blends to CSP plants has the potential to reduce CAPEX by 30% and OPEX by 35% with respect to state-of-the-art steam cycles, thus exceeding the reduction achievable with standard supercritical CO2 technology. This translates into a LCoE lower than 96 €/MWh, which is 30% lower than currently possible. The project will demonstrate the innovative fluid and newly developed heatexchangers at a relevant scale (300 kWth) for 300 h in a CSP-like operating environment.
