Which wise government spending (see: investment in
technology and other productivity - enhancing measures) can help that last bit, which is one reason I'm all in favor of spending on alternative energy research (I'm a little sick of sending hundreds of billions of dollars per year overseas for hydrocarbons; I'd rather employ Americans to maintain windfarms,
solar plants, not - on - the - table - now - but - maybe - soon thorium
reactors, etc.).
The four scientists call for an increase in ambition in the deployment of improved light - water
reactors, with the accelerated development of advanced fission
technologies to accompany planned increases in
solar, wind and hydro power generation.
Research can also be accelerated by direct government support of the development of sustainable
technologies (energy efficiency, wind and
solar power and energy storage, advanced nuclear
reactors: we can not succeed without «all of the above»).
Increasingly, analysts describe current designs as «bridging
technologies,» stepping stones toward more advanced clean energy, whether in the form of perovskite
solar cells or modular nuclear
reactors.
Now, a group of scientists at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) supported by the Aerosol and Particle
Technology Laboratory of CPERI / CERTH Greece have built and tested a new
solar reactor design that includes storage so it can provide round - the - clock heat like the current fossil - fired method, but without the emissions.
Experimentally,
solar reactors range from 1 meter to 5 meters to demonstrate the concept or as pilot projects, depending a little on the
technology.
Success with ammonia means we will have developed and commercialized, at scale, with viable economics, infrastructure and supply chains, the following new
technologies: CCS, SSAS, methane cracking, conventional and high temperature electrolysis and thermochemical water splitting for hydrogen production, nuclear heat sources and small modular
reactors, and
solar heat sources and renewable electricity of sufficient reliability to be integrated into high volume must - run industrial processes.
Copernican was acquired by Sundrop Fuels in 2008, and its
solar -
reactor technology is now at the heart of a 1.5 - megawatt thermal
solar gasification demonstration facility in Colorado.
