THE FUTURE OF SOLAR ENERGY IS IN PROGRESS AT PROMES

The research objectives of the laboratory:

Study solar energy conversion into heat, coldness, electricity, and hydrogen (energy carriers) using particularly thermal and thermochemical processes.

Qualify and improve high temperature materials, and elaborate new materials using concentrated solar energy.

Develop low environmental impact processes and long lifetime materials.

The original research facilities of PROMES: solar furnaces and solar concentrators.

Europe, the natural area of our researches: SOLLAB, SOLFACE, SOLZINC, SOLHYCARB, ENVIRODISH, DISTOR.
