Therefore, this research examines alternative cementitious materials, specifically alkali-activated (AAM) and hybrid alkaline materials (HM), which use blast furnace slag as a binder and incorporate recycled aggregates such as glass waste and electric arc furnace slag. On-site renewable energy can play a key role in the cement industry's plans to support carbon-neutral concrete by 2050 while mitigating high fluctuations in energy costs. The increasing priority of decarbonization and corporate ESG (environmental, social, and governance) performance creates a. The transition to sustainable energy highlights the importance of thermal energy storage (TES) systems, particularly in concentrated solar power plants. Both approaches show a declining capacity credit of 4-hour duration storage, and increase in capacity credit with high system-wide solar. Designed for medium-scale applications, it offers a reliable and efficient solution for.
