Fuel Production Using Concentrated Solar Energy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Limited reserves of fossil fuels and their negative environmental effects impose significant problems in our energy security and sustainability. Consequently, researchers are looking for renewable energy sources, for instance solar energy, to meet the energy demands of a growing world population. However, terrestrial solar energy is a dilute resource per foot‐ print area and is intermittent showing substantial variability depending on the season, time of the day, and location.
