ABSTRACT:
Environmental Readiness Documents are prepared periodically to review and evaluate the environmental status of an energy technology during the several phases of development of that technology. Through these documents, the Office of Environment within the Department of Energy provides an
This Environmental Readiness Document was prepared to assist DOE in evaluating the commercial readiness of solar thermal power systems technology with respect to environmental issues. An effort has been made to identify potential environmental problems that may be encountered based upon current knowledge, proposed and possible new environmental regulations, and the uncertainties inherent in planned environmental research.
This document is one of several assessments of energy technologies prepared for DOE management and public review. It is being distributed so that persons having interests and responsibilities in this area can provide DOE with additional information and comments.
