How can Synhelion’s solar receiver reach such high temperatures? Synhelion’s solar receiver achieves a temperature of 1,500°C and higher. That’s unprecedented. Even the Gen3 particle-based solar receiver being pilot-scale tested now at Sandia – and the DLR CentRec receiver licensed to Heliogen – operate at the (relatively!) lower temperature of 1,000°C. One of Synhelion’s solar …

Fig. 5. Effect of the location on the minimum fuel selling price (€2020) with cost-built up for one GJ of jet fuel produced via the solar thermochemical pathway. 25 years lifetime. Abstract: This study analyzes the technical performance, costs and life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the production of various fuels using air-captured water and …
IMAGE@Energy Connects Press Release: Aug 3 2023 Synhelion and Cemex announced today a significant milestone in their joint effort to develop fully solar-driven cement production: the scaling of their technology to industrially-viable levels. This includes the continuous production of clinker, the most energy-intensive part of cement manufacturing, using only solar heat. At the beginning of …
29th SolarPACES Conference 2023 Technical Tour Australia Tour the pilot-scale sodium receiver and falling curtain particle receiver in Australia During the 29th SolarPACES Conference, a day trip from Sydney will take you on a Technical Tour of the CSIRO National Solar Energy Centre at Newcastle, where the working of two gen-3 receivers will be demonstrated: …

Synthesis and Structural Study of Substituted Ternary Nitrides for Ammonia Production.pdf Abstract: Over the past few decades, inorganic nitride materials have grown in importance in part due to their potential as catalysts for the synthesis of NH3, a key ingredient in fertilizer and precursor to industrial chemicals. Of particular interest are the ternary (ABN) or …
Cargo shipping will be very different in 2050. Increasingly, the shipping industry is looking to decarbonize and green ammonia research is funded globally from China to the UK IMAGE@Nottingham University: $5.5 million Research Effort to fuel ships on Green Ammonia Green ammonia could be made sustainably using solar thermochemistry instead of as it is made …

Solar thermochemistry is a process in which solar thermal energy drives chemical reactions to produce new compounds. Highly concentrated solar heat is reflected off thousands of mirrors in a solar field surrounding a tower receiver to heat a solar reactor. These reactions can produce chemical compounds like ammonia or fuels like aviation fuel. National research …
