SOLAR SPACE POWER

SOLAR SPACE POWER

2023
EMERGING TECH

Can we use Solar Power in Space to supply energy for Earth’s consumption?

The concept of Space Based Solar Power (SSP) systems is to collect solar power in high earth orbits and then transmits it wirelessly to Earth.


The technology’s maturity is progressively increasing but still faces multiple challenges. Different concepts of SSP are currently being developed over the world.

NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS

arrow_forward

Recently recognized by the IPCC and IEA as necessary to offset hard-to-abate emissions and eventually, to go beyond net-zero, Negative Emissions Technologies will play a main role but Natural Based Solutions (NBS) even more. 

LIGHT-DRIVEN CHEMISTRY TO SOLAR FUELS PRODUCTION

Photosynthesis efficiently captures solar energy, but its subsequent conversion into chemical energy in the form of biomass is limited in term of efficiency in the range between 1 to 4%. 

CIRCUL(AIR)FUELS

Converting low-carbon electricity to e-fuels in a fully circular manner! 

PYROLYSIS FOR TURQUOISE HYDROGEN?

arrow_forward

Methane pyrolysis is a set of emerging technologies that allow hydrogen production while avoiding CO2 emissions. Carbon is stored in a solid form.
