Solar reactor uses solar thermal energy to split water to hydrogen Source: Hydrogen Insight The US government has finally unveiled its long-awaited proposed rules on clean hydrogen production, determining the criteria that developers will have to meet in order to qualify for the hydrogen tax credit of up to $3 per kilogram. The proposed guidelines …

Abstract: Biochar has been recognized as an effective soil amendment for reducing nitrogen leaching in agriculture, but its large-scale implementation is impeded by the costly production process due to high energy requirements for thermal decomposition of feedstock. This study aimed to develop a novel pyrolysis system utilizing concentrated solar radiation to produce biochar and explore …
In a departure from the original inspiration of agricultural glasshouses, a GlassPoint redesign involves a new lighter weight curved film replacing the “glasshouse” roof over its solar collectors, and now directly heats the thermal energy storage Press Release: GlassPoint Unveils Technology Advancements Reducing Solar Steam Costs by 30% The new “Unify” storage system and redesigned …

Abstract: A natural gas and carbon dioxide fuel mixture was enriched by hydrogen to experimentally measure the performance of a hydrogen and surrogate biogas fuel. The performance of various biogas qualities and hydrogen blend ratios was investigated for use in a commercial self-aspirating burner by quantifying the impact on primary air entrainment, blow-off and flashback …
CSIRO and the Australian National University (ANU) will display the liquid sodium receiver at the 2023 SolarPACES Conference tour of the CSIRO solar test site this October The solar receiver on view at this year’s SolarPACES Conference site tour in October will be the first that many attendees have seen. This solar receiver is designed …

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 …

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 …
