The solar thermal sector, still underused, is set to accelerate as part of the new objectives set by the French strategy for energy and climate, with a target of 6 TWh in 2030 compared to 1.3 TWh today. Denmark has already integrated solar thermal into its energy mix, contributing to energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. Germany too. Solar thermal has great potential for heat networks. It could also be useful in industry, by providing a renewable energy source for industrial processes and helping to reduce the carbon footprint. What lessons can be learned from the Danish and German experiences on large-scale solar thermal? What is the current state of the solar thermal market in France and what are the prospects? How can we change scale to decarbonize heat networks and industry? What are the main obstacles to the deployment of solar thermal in France and how can we overcome them?
