Abstract: A free-falling particle receiver is a promising technology to be used in concentrating solar power plants. In this study, an optical-thermal coupled model is established by combining a Monte Carlo ray-tracing method with a finite volume method to simulate the energy transfer processes in a solar power tower system employing a cavity receiver. Using …

Methane Pyrolysis in a Liquid Metal Bubble Column Reactor [CfD or Contracts-for-Difference subsidies pay the difference between an entrenched energy technology and a newly developing one to bring down those costs till it has scaled-up. CfD policies in the UK for its first decade of offshore wind jumpstarted widespread deployment and resulting cost reductions.] Source: …

Sulfur can be stored like a pile of coal. “This cycle allows you to get energy out of the sulphur and store it in between. Why it’s in focus now is that we can use 100% renewable energy – concentrated solar – to heat the reaction. That’s why chemical companies now come in and are …

Abstract: Recently, research and development on progressive and efficient hydrogen production methods has been paid lots of attention due to carbon-free feature of hydrogen. Application of nanoparticles to enhance an integrated solar-based hydrogen production unit is suggested and investigated in this work. The integrated plant consists of parabolic trough collectors coupled with a Kalina cycle …
Abstract: Biochar production through slow pyrolysis is a versatile and adaptable approach for managing diverse biomass waste. However, their industrial applications remain limited because of their high energy consumption and the emission of toxic gases. Solar-biomass pyrolysis systems have been proposed to address these challenges. This review examines the relationship between output configuration and the …
View full size: Abstract: Methane pyrolysis in liquid metals is a worth-developing process for CO2-free hydrogen production. This study investigates methane pyrolysis in molten tin and highlights the impact of several parameters on methane conversion (XCH4) in a novel hybrid solar/electric bubbling reactor. Temperature (1200–1300 °C), total inlet gas flow rate (Q0 = 0.25–0.5 NL/min), …
Fossil solar energy #9 (fossil fire). © Antonio Romero Abstract: In this study, a clean and efficient hydrogen production system with synergistic conversion of coal and solar energy is proposed, and the energetic and exergetic evaluation are carried out. The main feature is that the syngas produced by supercritical water coal gasification contains a large …
