Research Headlines - Harnessing the sun to clean up industrial processes

Image
[Source: Research & Innovation] The production of cement and lime involves fossil fuels and produces harmful greenhouse gases. Industry could change this, if scientists can develop a technology that can use solar power for high temperature industrial processes. The EU-funded SOLPART project has built lab-scale reactors that use a solar powered process to meet this need. from EUROPA - Syndicated Research News Feed http://ift.tt/2pAhGqI via IFTTT
