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 ...

A 200-foot tower stands centered in front of a field of rotating mirrors on the southern edge of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It’s the National Solar Thermal Test Facility, operated by Sandia National ...

In theory, it's possible to create jet fuel from nothing more than water, CO2, and energy from the sun, but doing so outside of the laboratory has proved challenging. Now researchers have created the ...

Researchers in Jordan and Qatar have come up with a remarkable design for a "twin technology solar system" capable of generating clean energy 24/7. This double-action design promises more than twice ...

A solar tower capable of withstanding Category 1 hurricane winds (120 kmh to 153 kmh) has been shown to be commercially viable. Three Sixty Solar, a Canadian commercial and utility-scale solar ...

Northwest Germany may not appear on many maps as an ideal location for solar energy, but the town of Jà¼lich plays host to a 1.5 MW solar power tower that’s being used as much for research as it is as ...
