Although the concept of using CO 2 as a feedstock for renewable multi-carbon compounds and synthetic fuels is attractive, practical implementation has been hampered by the difficulty of forming carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds efficiently. She then heated the mixture to about 200 ˚C to form a molten salt. —Banerjee et al.

Thermal energy storage is a known low-cost, low-risk approach for storing solar energy in the form of heat,” adds Codd. With the solar that you use every day of the year, you put that into high-temperature, short-term storage in the form of thermal oil or molten salt or any of the existing CSP thermal-storage technologies.”

The US Department of Energy has selected 13 projects for investment of up to $62 million over five years to research, develop, and demonstrate Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems capable of providing low-cost electrical power. Using reflective mirrors, the sun’s radiation will heat a liquid salt within each receiver.
