Solar thermal technologies have been recognized as a reliable option for delivering process heat to industrial processes (Farjana et al. 2018; Sharma et al. 2017), and have been a subject of study in two previous Tasks of the Solar Heating and Cooling Program (SHC), Task 33 and Task 49, and it represents a permanent task in Solar- PACES: Task IV. Despite the efforts and progress achieved to build new knowledge and reduce the entry barriers that solar thermal technologies face in the heat market for industry, the number of solar heat plants coupled with industrial processes is less than 1,000 installations (Weiss and Spörk-Dür 2020). In that context, since 2020, Task 64/IV has started a collaborative effort bringing together the experience from professionals, project developers, and scientists, aiming to address part of the entry barriers that hinder the further development of the market.
