The heat sector is often referred to as the “elephant in the room”. However – a broad range of technologies is already available on the market to tackle this problem. Thermal technologies like concentrated solar power and thermal energy storage are key for decarbonizing energy systems. They enable the [...]
The Shams Concentrated Solar Power planr in the Al Dhafra Region will enter a new decade after a series of successes, underscoring the UAE’s leadership in renewable environmentally-friendly energy, and coinciding with the Year of Sustainability and the preparations to host COP28 in November 2023. Ten years after its establishment, [...]
For solar thermal systems to make solar fuels or provide industrial heat at temperatures at 1500°C, various designs for high-temperature solar receivers are being innovated to capture and convert concentrated solar heat directed from a solar field of heliostats. IMAGE@Casati et al. A water-cooled hot solar window from A Solar [...]
Drop-in fuels produced using solar energy can provide a viable pathway towards sustainable transportation, especially for the long-haul aviation sector which is strongly dependent on jet fuel. This study reports on the experimental testing of a solar reactor using concentrated solar energy for the production of syngas, a mixture of [...]
