Solar thermal systems capable of providing process heat to the industries that make up the Food and Kindred Products Group are now commercially available. Whether or not they will be adopted by these industries will depend not only upon further reductions in capital costs, but also upon the costs and availability of alternative fossil fuels, the operating and maintenance costs of solar thermal systems, and tax incentives.
