Tower Power: Producing Fuels from Solar Energy
Antal, M. J., Jr.
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 32, 5, 58-62, May 76
This article examines the use of power tower technologies for the production of synthetic fuels. This process overcomes the limitations of other processes by using a solar furnace to drive endothermic fuel producing reactions and the resulting fuels serve as a medium for storing solar energy. (BT)
