Additional info
The guideline in hand is a short, practice-orientated document providing technical information on how solar thermal can be integrated into each of the considered processes. the main objective is to link the two affected spheres of competence, which are industrial process engineering and solar thermal engineering. No extensive planning principles are provided, but a short insight into the four considered processes as well as into the basics of solar thermal engineering is given. A structured planning approach with several consecutive steps is recommended and explained by practical examples. extensive information on specific issues arising when dealing with solar thermal process heat can be found in the more detailed planning references cited within this brochure.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Buildings electricity consumption
- Buildings heat use
- Tools and equipment electricity consumption
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
