Environmental and social risks in the development of CSP plants - Understanding the risks to enable mitigation

To enable the development of environmental friendly technologies to power our world, it is essential for us to understand how these technologies themselves affect the environment and society. This work is undertaken to understand the environmental and social risks when developing Concentrated Solar Power plants so as to provide industry with a global picture of what needs to be given more care when developing such projects. It is the author's hope that this work will edify the process of improving the technology and its impact on the betterment of livelihoods and the ecosystem around specific sites. Provision of sustainable, clean energy will allow for access to services to populations around the world. George Aluru, Nairobi, Kenya 29/03/2016
