When thinking about renewable energy, most people conjure visions of solar panels on rooftops or elegant white wind turbines, few imagine the humble greenhouse. And yet, a greenhouse with a twist is key to a groundbreaking solution in bringing net-zero to the tough-to-disrupt industrial heat sector. Industrial heat is the world’s largest end-use of energy …
There’s a rush on to capture the sun with mirrors. Fields, deserts, and areas the size of capital cities, are being covered in big shiny heliostats, and sunlight focussed on troughs, tubes and towers, designed to bring us out of the fossil-fuel age and into a greener, more sustainable future. Wes Stein CSIRO solar research …
