Power-generation through the use of solar updraft towers is a fairly old concept that has only been tried at small scales until now. A more ambitious solar updraft project is underway. I dunno, maybe ...

A pilot-scale solar fuel reactor outside Madrid can produce jet fuel from two simple ingredients: carbon dioxide and water (Joule 2022, DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2022.06.012). Kerosene made with this ...

Copper cobaltate nanoneedles coated with zinc oxide hit 99.5 percent light absorption, surpassing carbon nanotubes and boosting concentrated solar power efficiency. That will pave the way towards ...

The 50-MW Delingha concentrated solar power tower plant located on the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau in China was developed, built, and continues to be refined by a company dedicated to solar tower ...

Powerchina has switched on a 100 MW solar tower in South Africa. The concentrated solar power (CSP) project will supply 480 GWh of clean energy to the country’s power grid each year. The system’s ...

Tucson added to its growing solar-energy credentials Thursday with the dedication of one of the world's most efficient photovoltaic systems at the University of Arizona Science and Technology Park.
