Power-generation through the use of solar updraft towers is a fairly old concept that has only been tried at small scales until now. A more ambitious solar updraft project is underway. I dunno, maybe ...

This double-action design promises more than twice as much energy as a standard solar updraft tower. As its name suggests, the TTSS combines two tower-style technologies into a single design: a solar ...

Renewable energy enthusiasts now have reason to celebrate: EVAPCO offers a solar-powered evaporative cooling tower. The SUN cooling tower, available in two sizes — 241 and 383 nominal tons — is paired ...

Taking carbon dioxide, water and sunlight as its only inputs, this solar thermal tower in Spain produces carbon-neutral replacement versions of diesel and jet fuel. It's a pilot plant, proving a new ...

Aldo Steinfeld, a professor at ETH Zürich’s Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, says his system for converting ambient air into jet-ready kerosene fuel using a solar refinery tower isn’t ...

Molten Salt Solar Power Tower Technology is an advanced concentrated solar power (CSP) system that utilises molten salt as both a heat transfer and storage medium. In these systems, a central receiver ...

Texas startup Janta Power has secured $5.5 million in seed funding to expand its next-generation solar power towers, a vertical alternative to flat solar farms. The funding round was led by MaC ...

Researchers have designed a fuel production system that uses water, carbon dioxide (CO 2), and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. They have implemented the system in the field, and the design, ...

Aquarius Tower, a $60 million, 38-story, 112-unit condominium complex in downtown Atlanta, will be the first condo project in Georgia to incorporate both solar and wind energy into its design.

It can also be blended with fossil-derived kerosene, he adds. In 2017, the team started scaling up the design and built a solar fuel-production plant at IMDEA Energy Institute in Spain. The plant ...
