Clean Energy Technology Observatory: Solar Thermal Energy in the European Union - 2024 Status Report on Technology Development, Trends, Value Chains and Markets
In November 2024, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) published via its Clean Energy Technology Observatory (CETO) its 2024 annual report on solar thermal energy in the European Union. While the solar thermal market had a challenging year in 2023, the report highlights the EU’s strong need to accelerate the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector by upscaling the deployment of clean technologies such as solar heat.
