dc.description.abstractABSTRACT: Nowadays, current industrial applications seek, whenever possible, to meet thermal needs on sustainable technologies that are economically viable and environmentally friendly. Despite the high potential, a number of challenges still have to be overcame. Those include maximum attainable temperatures, seasonal and daily transience in solar heat supply and its integration in the industrial processes (among others). For that purpose, the implementation of solar thermal energy into industrial applications has been recognised and addressed by IEA Solar Heating & Cooling Programme (established in 1977), in a number of different research studies, including those ones found in Task 33 and Task 49 (IEA, 2015a; IEA, 2015b; and IEA, 2016) supported by the International Energy Agency (IEA) agenda. In this area, a task called Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) emerges, which suggested that solar thermal systems have a significant potential in the sector, even though in an early stage of progress. This activity was led primary by the Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organization (Fuller, 2011). General motivations to implement solar systems in cork industry include: i) economics, with respect to worldwide increasing gas prices, and ii) environmental, with respect to the carbon-dioxide footprint associated to this specific industrial sector. The main objective of this report is to assess the technical assessment of solar thermal use in the cork industry, more specifically in the António Almeida - Cortiças S.A., located in the north of Portugal. For that purpose, a close collaboration was establish with this industry through several activities namely: i) energetic audit and ii) different actions of monitoring and implementation of the Energy Consumption Rationalization Agreement (ECRA).pt_PT
