Default The SolarGas project - Australia
Quote:



The SolarGas project comprises two parallel pathways. They are:
  • the development, construction and testing of a central receiver, boasting the most compact optical field in the world, and suitable for generating temperatures above 1200 °C
  • the development and demonstration of a reactor that combines natural gas and solar energy to form SolarGas, and ultimately Solar H2.
The advantage of combining two of Australia’s largest resources in this way is that it provides storage of solar energy, transportable solar energy and a transitional path from a fossil fuel to a solar energy economy.
