Next generation concentrated solar power technology

Stage: Round 8

Vector Sustainable Energy Ltd seeks to address Sudan’s energy shortages by commercializing an innovative Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology. The project aims to deploy a cost-effective CSP system, potentially reducing startup costs by 62%, offering secure and affordable solar energy with enhanced efficiency and a smaller land footprint. With Sudan heavily reliant on wood burning, facing deforestation and limited renewable energy use, Vector’s solution aims to revolutionize energy production, contributing to carbon savings and leveraging Sudan’s untapped solar potential. The project’s goal is to develop a working steel prototype, generating essential data for investor attraction, scalability, and commercialization. Aligned with global sustainability goals, the initiative provides rural energy solutions, supports agriculture, and addresses health and environmental challenges.
