The heat can drive steam turbines or engines to generate electricity around the clock. Inside the tower, molten salts are heated to 565 °C and flow down into storage tanks, turning water into steam to drive turbines. It's like a big battery of molten salt instead of lithium," said Fernando Gonzalez , CEO of Cerro Dominador.
