Career Trajectory
Bio
Dr. Pedro Horta, Head of the Renewable Energies Chair at the University of Évora and Coordinator of INIESC – the Portuguese National Research Infrastructure in Solar Energy Concentration, has a 20+ years research career in solar energy technologies and applications, with a special focus on solar concentrators and their medium and high-temperature applications: solar concentrator design and testing, Solar Industrial Process Heat, Concentrated Solar Power, solar desalination.
His background activities in these fields, built along his collaboration with LNEG – the Portuguese National Laboratory for Energy and Geology (2002 – 2011) and the University of Évora (2011 – 2015) included the development of R&D, training, engineering, consulting or product development activities.
Along a 4 years collaboration as Head of the Group Solar Process Heat and Industrial Systems (Department High Temperature Solar Thermal and Industrial Processes) at Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE (2015 to 2019), was deeply engaged in the research, technical and financing questions pertaining industrial process heat (SHIP). In this field, and besides his participation in the most relevant international R&D for a (IEA/SHC Task 49, IEA/SHC Task 64, ETIP SNET/RHC, EERA JP-CSP), Dr. Pedro Horta has been the Coordinator of the European Common Research and Innovation Agenda on Solar process heat (INSHIP), has participated in SHIP related financing projects (TrustEE, TrusCS Phase 1, GIZ Mexico) and developed capacity building and SHIP demonstration activities in Europe, MENA region, Asia, South and Central America (World Bank MENA CSP KIP, IKI SolarPayback).
Resuming his collaboration with the University of Évora in 2019, as Head of its Renewable Energies Chair (RE Chair), leads a group of 25+ researchers, technicians and graduate students in the development of applied research on the use of solar technologies in the decarbonization of different economic sectors: e.g. power generation, industrial processes, water production and treatment, agricultural irrigation or production of renewable fuels and gases.
As Coordinator of INIESC – the Portuguese National Research Infrastructure in Solar Energy Concentration, aims at the strategic development of these research activities in line with the development of this research facility. Part of the ERIC Infrastructure EU-SOLARIS (ESFRI), its development aims at the demonstration of a solar energy driven Energy Transition energy system, capable of producing and storing different energy vectors: electricity, heat, hydrogen or renewable fuels and water – providing their inter-conversion and dispatching upon demand.
Aiming at enhacing the conditions for the development of excellence research conditions in both UEvora RE Chair and INIESC Infrastructure, Pedro Horta is the Coordinator of two Horizon Europe Twinning projects, assuring high-level cooperation with DLR (Germany) and ENEA (Italy) in the field of solar applications with molten salts (SALTOpower) and CIEMAT (Spain), ITCanarias (Spain) and UNIPAlermo (Italy) in the field of solar desalination and water treatment (Sol2H2O).
