Application of Solar Technology to Fuel Production Chemical Processing, and Thermochemical Energy Transport: Status and Future

摘要

The status of investigations into the application of solar thermal technology to fuel production, chemical processes, and thermochemical energy transport and storage in several countries around the world is discussed. In addition, the concept of a direct catalytic absorption receiver (DCAR) and the potential role this concept may play in the future of solar fuels and chemicals are presented.
