Solarthermalworld.org
Solarthermalworld.org was initiated by the European Copper Institute (ECI), Brussels, Belgium, in 2008 with the aim of providing stakeholders from research, public and private sector all around the globe with first-class information about solar heating and cooling to stimulate market growth. The ECI has supported the hosting of the website as well as the content gathering continuously between 2008 and 2020. ECI was instrumental in making the site the global SHC showcase it is today, and will remain a supporting partner even beyond 2020.
The German agency solrico has been responsible for the news section of the website since 2008 and has sent out newsletters regularly. On 1 January 2021, solrico assumed complete ownership of solarthermalworld.org and remains the editor-in-chief for the news section and the newsletters. solrico cooperates with solar thermal experts from various countries (e.g. India, Brazil, China, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Russia, and Kenia) and backgrounds to deliver well developed insights into this dynamically growing global sector.
Since 2015 solarthermalworld.org has been writing monthly articles on the activities and results of the IEA SHC Programme.
