Researchers in China have designed a two-stage, solar-assisted thermochemical heat pump system that uses caustic soda and water as a working pair. The system is reportedly able to achieve an energy ...

Anthropogenic CO 2 is the main cause of climate change. There is a pressing need to develop efficient technologies for chemical/fuel production from CO 2, ultimately realizing carbon circularity.

Engineers have designed a system that can efficiently produce 'solar thermochemical hydrogen.' It harnesses the sun's heat to split water and generate hydrogen -- a clean fuel that emits no greenhouse ...

Despite controversies, hydrogen can be a great fossil fuel replacement and also a means of energy storage and transport. But extracting hydrogen is an energy-intensive process and most of the time not ...

Existing solar thermochemical hydrogen production systems have low efficiency, but MIT's design could harness up to 40% of solar heat for hydrogen generation. The breakthrough system relies solely on ...

Researchers from Swansea University in the United Kingdom are investigating how thermochemical storage (TCS) may be used in combination with rooftop PV for seasonal heat storage. “Our vision for the ...

RedoxBlox, a San Diego-based energy storage startup, is focused on decarbonizing two critical areas of the economy: industrial heat for difficult-to-decarbonize sectors and renewable energy storage ...

"Solar Thermal Energy on the Rise - Perspectives for Heat Transition and Sustainable Fuels". This was the motto of the 27th Cologne Solar Colloquium, which was held for the first time this year as a ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed the process technology that can produce carbon-neutral transportation fuels from sunlight and air. Now, in a Nature publication, they demonstrate the stable ...

This year, SolarPACES (Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems) will once again bring together leading experts in the field of concentrating solar thermal power (CST). The conference is part of a ...

MIT engineers have developed a design for a system that efficiently harnesses the sun’s heat to split water and generate hydrogen. MIT engineers aim to produce totally green, carbon-free hydrogen fuel ...
