It’s rarely great news when an area gets blanketed in volcanic ash – but University of Barcelona researchers have discovered it has a rare combination of useful properties, which make it remarkably useful as an energy storage medium.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Volcanic ash: The cheapest battery for solar energy storage
In many ways, space is the perfect place for a solar energy array. There are no clouds in the way, no seasonal variability, no atmospheric filtering, and your solar panels can operate at peak efficiency around the clock, since the planet doesn’t block … Continue reading China tests world-first full-function space solar verification tower
Mining giant Rio Tinto has announced it’s going to install a pilot version of Heliogen’s high-temperature “solar refinery” at a Californian boron mine, supplying clean energy as well as heat for industrial processes, with operations expected to start i… Continue reading Rio Tinto to deploy Heliogen’s AI-powered industrial “solar refinery”
A new project in the Australian Outback will trial an innovative technique for converting solar energy into hydrogen by capturing moisture from the air and splitting it via hydrolysis, making it possible for hot, arid areas to become energy exporters.
