Abstract: Solar-driven CO2 reforming of CH4 is considered a promising approach for achieving CO2 emission reduction and clean energy utilization simultaneously. However, reactors suffer from uneven temperature distribution and severe carbon deposition, leading to low solar-to-fuel efficiency. This study introduces a novel strategy for highly efficient solar-driven thermochemical CO2-to-fuel conversion based on hierarchical triply periodic …
Published at Crystals – Manufacturing and Thermal Shock Resistance of 3D-Printed Porous Black Zirconia for Concentrated Solar Applications
Abstract: A novel approach for manufacturing porous materials, foreseen as solar receivers for concentrated sun radiation, used in the power tower technology is presented. In such applications, materials are subjected to steep thermal gradients and thousands of cycles. Yet, materials consisting of honeycombs and ceramic foams showed insufficient thermal performance. By using the fused filament …

Egypt launches a solar desalination tender for five Concentrated Solar Power projects
According to Fady Elsayed Senior Project Development Manager, Southern Africa, at Infinity Power, the Egyptian Government has launched a tender for five concentrated solar power plants on the north coast: “The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) has launched a tender for the construction of five concentrated solar power (CSP) plants to power water desalination plants …
Egypt launches a solar desalination tender for five CSP projects
All of Egypt has a much higher solar resource for concentrated solar power than most regions. Its DNI is at least 2000 kWh/m2 even along the northern coast, making this ideal for 100% solar desalination with CSP. According to Fady Elsayed Senior Project Development Manager, Southern Africa, at Infinity Power, the Egyptian Government has launched …

Published at Chemical Engineering Journal – Green ammonia to Hydrogen: Reduction and oxidation catalytic processes
Ammonia. Computer model of a molecule of ammonia(NH3). Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour coded: nitrogen (blue) and hydrogen (white). Ammonia is a pungent-smelling colourless gas. It occurs naturally in gases from some geothermal springs. Abstract: Green ammonia, produced at ambient conditions, has received significant attention as a carrier of hydrogen for energy …
Cost of Concentrated solar power (CSP) projects fell from USD 0.38/kWh to USD 0.118/kWh – a decline of 69%
Concentrated solar power (CSP) saw its global weighted‑average LCOE fall from 591% higher than the cheapest fossil fuel option in 2010 to 71% higher in 2022. Concentrated solar power (CSP) deployment remains disappointing, with less than 0.1 GW added in 2022 and global cumulative capacity standing at 6.5 GW at the end of 2022. For …
