Solar energy used for high-temperature industrial processes
AZoCleantech — May 17, 2024, 11:00 AM UTC
Summary: Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a thermal trap using solar radiation to deliver high temperatures needed for industrial processes, reaching 1050 degrees Celsius in lab experiments. This innovation could help decarbonize energy-intensive industries currently reliant on fossil fuels. The technology minimizes radiative heat losses, potentially improving the efficiency of solar absorption for large-scale solar plants. Further technical and economic analyses are needed for implementation.

I'm replacing the original 8-factor scoring system with a new and improved one. It doesn't use the original factors and gives much better significance scores.
