El Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico anunció el pasado 27 de enero que la Comisión Europea respaldaba la actualización del Plan Nacional Integrado de Energía y Clima (Pniec) 2023-2030. El Gobierno presentó a Bruselas un Pniec 2021-2030 en abril de 2020 (documento que ya recibió el visto bueno de la Comisión …
Solar-heated cement calcining – aided by the greenhouse gas effect?
Solar-heated cement calcining: “This is the key point: not only are we addressing carbon emissions from the heat input, which is traditionally supplied by fossil fuels, we’re also addressing the CO2 naturally liberated from calcining the calcium carbonate.” Solar-heated cement calcining – aided by the greenhouse effect? Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are advancing a …

Published at Energy Conversion and Management – Thermodynamic evaluation of nonstoichiometric oxides for efficient and practical solar thermochemical hydrogen production
Abstract: Efficient solar-to-fuel conversion is of paramount importance to gauge the competitiveness of solar fuel production methods and technologies. Solar thermochemical cycling (STC) has tremendous potential in this regard, yet the realization of which is critically contingent upon the synergy between the redox oxides and reactors of the STC. The evaluation and screening of redox …
Published at Solar Energy – Performance assessment of a system to provide steady high temperature air via solar thermal suspension flow technology with storage and combustion back-up
Abstract: The imperative for economically viable sources of high-temperature heat without contributing to net carbon emissions has become a pressing global concern, particularly in the context of industrial chemical processes. Solar thermal heat generation emerges as a pivotal solution in addressing this formidable challenge. By concentrating sunlight to achieve high temperatures, solar thermal technology can …
