Solving Water Issues for CSP Plants

Publications

The SOLWARIS project is founded on the cooperation between R&D centres, educational institutions and industrial stakeholders across Europe. This cooperation has led to many scientific advancements that have been shared through publication in scientific journals around the world. Information on the Scientific papers can be found below.
