STT4SET is a Coordination and Support Action designed to reinforce the role of solar thermal technologies (STT), both concentrated (CST) and non-concentrated (NCST), as strategic assets for Europe’s clean energy transition.
STT4SET will support the activities of the SST Implementation Working Group of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) under its expanded mandate, covering both CST and NCST, to ensure STT is fully integrated into the SET Plan.
The project will strengthen stakeholder cooperation, aligning industrial needs and research priorities to better support STT’s role in achieving the EU’s decarbonisation and competitiveness goals. STT4SET will facilitate more synergies across the SET Plan technology sectors, supporting hybridisation and integration pathways that enable wider deployment of STT in Europe, thereby improving energy security, resilience and supply chain independence. Through structured stakeholder engagement, including six targeted online workshops, STT4SET will deliver integrated roadmaps, strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration and provide essential inputs for policymakers and other relevant stakeholders.
