Solar power storage gets hotter, and can now make zero greenhouse liquid fuels
Solar power, working up to an unprecedented 1100 degrees Celsius, will bring higher efficiency and lower storage costs. Even better, higher temperatures can drive combustion in reverse, making atmosphere-friendly liquid fuels direct from atmospheric Carbon Dioxide, according to Nathan Siegel, of the Solar Technologies Department of the Sandia National Research Laboratories.
