Focused Sunlight Cleans Up Hydrogen Production
Thursday, August 11, 2005
"Hydrogen has been touted as the pollution-free fuel of the future, except that producing it still involves burning fossil fuels. But now concentrated sunlight is being used to make hydrogen with far less pollution. At the Weizmann Institute in Israel a 54-metre-high tower equipped with mirrors focuses sunlight down into a solar reactor. "We get 2000 times the normal sunlight concentration," says team member Christian Wieckert of the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland." Source: newscientist.com
