Efficient Hydrogen Production with Solar Reactor by EPFL: Achieves 20%+ Efficiency
Post by SolarPACES taking solar technologies to way further:
- A new solar-radiation-concentrating device produces green hydrogen at a rate of more than 2 kilowatts while maintaining efficiencies above 20%
- The pilot-scale device is already operational under real sunlight conditions and produces usable heat and oxygen
- Developed by researchers at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, the solar reactor could be commercialized in the near future
