Abstract Decarbonizing high‐temperature industrial processes, such as steel and cement production, remains a significant challenge due to their substantial heat demands. Particle receiver technology offers novel approach by utilizing solar energy deliver process at temperatures exceeding 1000°C, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. However, its large‐scale adoption hinges economic feasibility, which has been insufficiently explored in previous studies. This study uniquely assesses the techno‐economic viability of 100 MW particle system for applications, incorporating impact varying carbon reduction credit rates—an aspect not extensively analyzed existing literature. Results indicate that could offset 612,272 tons CO 2 annually, supporting EU‐2050 net‐zero target. The findings demonstrate integrating mechanisms can significantly enhance viability, providing policy pathway accelerating technologies heavy industries.
