The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Colorado School of Mines to develop narrow-channel, counterflow fluidized beds designed for efficient particle-to-sCO2 (supercritical carbon dioxide) heat exchangers and indirect solar particle receivers in a concentrating solar power (CSP) thermal energy storage subsystem.
