Solar Thermal Breakthrough: Swiss Team Achieves 1,000°C and Beyond for Industrial Processes
Zurich, Switzerland – The push towards cleaner energy solutions in industries once dominated by fossil fuels is gaining momentum. Researchers at ETH Zurich in Switzerland are pioneering new solar thermal technology, aiming to harness solar energy for industrial processes requiring high heat levels of over 1,000°C. Unlike traditional solar cells that generate electricity directly, these concentrating solar systems convert sunlight into solar thermal energy, using mediums like molten salt to provide thermal energy for industrial …
