Solar thermochemistry is a process in which solar thermal energy drives chemical reactions to produce new compounds. Highly concentrated solar heat is reflected off thousands of mirrors in a solar field surrounding a tower receiver to heat a solar reactor. These reactions can produce chemical compounds like ammonia or fuels like aviation fuel. National research …

Concentrated solar power (CSP) has long been touted as a promising renewable energy source, with the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and our reliance on fossil fuels. One of the key advantages of CSP over other renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaics (PV), is its ability to store thermal energy for use when …
