Sandia and Ceramic Tubular Products to Partner through Small Business Voucher
As one of five companies selected to work with Sandia through the Department of Energy's Small Business Vouchers Program, Ceramic Tubular Products is developing high
efficiency, low emissivity receiver tubes for Concentrated Solar Power plants. These tubes would allow the plants to operate at higher temperatures and efficiency, helping to achieve DOE's SunShot
goal of six cents per kilowatt hour levelized cost of electricity by 2020.
