Solar thermal boiler represents a significant cost reduction in any industrial scale production. In comparison to fossil-fuel based boilers, manufacturers are saving up to 75% in their boiler systems.
We decided to introduce solar steam boilers to our fruit juice production plant in Cyprus in 2019, reducing the fuel consumption of our conventional boilers and covering various production processes such as pasteurisation. The solar system provided by Protarget has proven to be a reliable and cost-effective source of thermal energy significantly reducing our fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The idea of Protarget was born during a business trip to California where two senior automotive and aerospace executives asked themselves why there is so much innovative and smart technology, and the world is still just talking about switching to green energy? It is obvious that the world’s dependency on fossil fuels is creating more environmental, financial and political problems than ever before. Why do we then accept that the biggest single energy consumers are industries who use process heat and produce almost anything that we as humans consume, and our deserts are not utilised to produce sustainable alternatives?
John Mitchell and Martin Scheuerer combined their production know-how with a scientist, Dr. Ing. Eckhard Lüpfert, from the German Aerospace Centre DLR with 30+ years scientific knowledge on solar thermal energy. The three forged the idea of taking already developed but complex and expensive Concentrated Solar Technology (CST) and scaling it down for decentralised applications. This resulted in co-founding Protarget and its first product – an innovative parabolic trough collector that provides cost-effective steam and hot water for industrial applications.
Protarget represents science and engineering excellence. Our vision is to make a notable contribution in driving the world’s industrial manufacturers towards cleaner energy alternatives. Protarget is built on fundamental beliefs such as energy security and independency, stable energy costs and reduction of CO2 emissions. The world is at the brink of change where the actions towards greener energy use and production need to take over the mere ...
