Or, solar thermal can directly provide heat for industrial processes to make steel, cement, and chemicals—all energy-intensive sectors that are difficult to clean up. 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 flexible.

Researchers at Stanford University have devised a new strategy for using CO 2 in the synthesis of multi-carbon compounds. Despite the many desirable attributes of PEF, the plastics industry has yet to find a low-cost way to manufacture it at scale. She then heated the mixture to about 200 ˚C to form a molten salt.
