Study: Atmospheric Engineering with Aerosols Could Reduce Effectiveness of Certain Kinds of Solar Power

Green Car Congress

The atmospheric engineering scheme of using sunlight-scattering stratospheric aerosols to combat global warming could reduce the effectiveness of certain kinds of solar power generation systems using parabolic or other concentrating optics.

HALO research aircraft measuring the emissions of megacities in EmeRGe project

Green Car Congress

In Asia, in particular, high temperatures, humidity, solar radiation and the frequency of storms play a major role. For example, unmanned light aircraft are being used by the Research Center for Environmental Changes at Academia Sinica in Taipei, our partner institution in Taiwan. —DLR research pilot Stefan Grillenbeck.

Test of Planet-Cooling Scheme Could Start in 2022

Cars That Think

Up there, 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, ozone molecules absorb the sun’s ultraviolet light, protecting life far below. The proposal calls for what’s known as “solar geoengineering”: cooling the planet by deflecting sunlight that would otherwise strike the planet.
