Energía termosolar: el material para hacerla más eficiente y gestionable

Un equipo de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) trabaja con unos materiales nuevos como alternativa a los fluidos de sales empleados en las centrales termosolares para almacenar calor y generar electricidad. Entre otras ventajas, alcanzan el doble de temperatura, son más baratas y no se degradan. Concretamente, los investigadores, con base en Albacete, emplean arena convencional como alternativa …
