Swiss researchers have achieved temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius using solar power. They used synthetic quartz crystals to trap solar energy, generating intense heat.
This technology could hold the ability to replace fossil fuels in industries requiring high temperatures, like iron ore smelting and cement production.
“Our research showed that solar thermal trapping works not just at low temperatures, but well above 1,000 degrees Celsius,” says Emiliano Casati of ETH Zurich. This advancement may lead to reducing emissions in heavy manufacturing.
Improving Solar Technology For Industry
The research team is now working on refining this technology. They are testing different materials, fluids, and gases, and exploring other forms of heat radiation.
