dc.description.abstractCompatibility of containment materials with molten salt thermal storage media is a significant technical challenge for Concentrating Solar Power plants. Metal alloys in contact with molten salt must have a specific behavior, mechanical properties and resistance to degradation processes that allow them to operate at temperatures above 500 °C, being both respectful to the environment. Firstly, this study presents two types of specific materials to operate at raised temperatures in Concentrating Solar Power plants, particularly the central tower technology. The materials are AISI 347H stainless steel and the Ni-based alloy HRSA INCONEL 617. Then, a Life Cycle Assessment shows the influence and contribution to different impact categories from the elements that compose both metals, demonstrating that materials that provide better mechanical properties could have environmental shortcomings. This paper aims to contribute to an improved understanding of the environmental implications of these materials and which is the best choice in terms of sustainability. The results showed better environmental behavior in the AISI 347H case against INCONEL 617.en
