When combined, solar thermal power plants (also called concentrating solar power systems) with hydrogen fuel production facilities (or electrochemical cells) can split water into its constituent parts of oxygen and hydrogen using the energy from the sun.
Hydrogen could potentially provide a readily available, clean form of energy derived from solar power. To achieve this, scientists all over the world are working to find a highly efficient, lowcost way to produce hydrogen with solar power. Here are some news:
1. “Hydricity” System Developed by Scientists in Switzerland and the United States.
Scientists in Switzerland and the United States have developed a “Hydricity” system to transfer solar heat to both electricity and hydrogen fuel at the same time. This system can supply electricity with an overall efficiency better than many photovoltaic cells all day. Solar thermal power....
