In solar reactors for making solar fuels at high temperatures, ceria's behavior when heated makes it state-of-the-art for unlocking the thermochemistry involved. (How solar fuels are made). But its structure lacks “intelligent design.” So a precisely controlled design...
Abstract The cost of renewable energy has significantly decreased in recent years, which marks the way towards a fully renewable and sustainable future. However, this energy transition is not possible without massive grid-scale energy storage technology since most of...
Using a bubble column reactor at Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, the Liquid Metal Laboratory team is working on producing hydrogen from methane, the cheapest method, but without CO2 emissions - the problem with the cheapest method. The main product, besides...
The American-Made Heliostat Prize is a $3 million competition designed to accelerate technology innovation through the design, development, and demonstration of key components of heliostats. Heliostats are devices that tilt mirrors to track the sun and reflect...
Recently, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the first batch of methodologies for four voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction projects: afforestation carbon sequestration, grid-connected solar thermal power generation, grid-connected offshore wind...
Abstract: This paper reports an experimental investigation into the kinetics of magnesium carbonate calcination, conducted using a broad spectrum of heating rates (0.1°C/s to 179.9°C/s) in an air environment for a thin layer bed with Biot number < 0.1. These...
Join the EuroPaTMoS (European Parabolic Trough with Molten Salt) European Research Project Webinar: Advancements in Molten Salt for Concentrated Solar Power Systems: We are excited to invite you to an enlightening webinar presenting the outcomes of the EuroPaTMoS...
A team of Australian researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has combined three tools to assess the economic viability of a hybrid CSP and desalination plant applicable for any region worldwide. “The interesting thing is you can modify this by...
The EuroTrough technology, developed by sbp sonne, has been selected for China's newest CSP power plant in Tibet. sbp sonne will provide the technology and engineering service for this challenging site at an elevation of 4,500 meters in the Tibet Autonomous Region of...
At the 4th SFERA-III Doctoral Colloquium and Summer School, around fifty young researchers from all over the world met in Cologne from 11 to 15 September 2023. 🎓 Doctoral students from the Institute of Solar Research and the Institute of Future Fuels exchanged...
