how co2 pollution could be turned into solar energy

Thanks to the global drive for clean energy technology and reducing carbon emissions, the energy industry is undergoing revolutionary changes.Solar and wind energy are one of the most commonly used renewable energy sources at present, especially in the field of solar energy.Carbon dioxide that generates clean energyIf these words are something you never thought you would see in a sentence, then you are not alone.
But that\'s what researchers at GE Global Research have created.Carbon dioxide is one of the biggest problems leading to climate change today, and clean energy is just one of the many solutions scientists and climate activists want to solve the problem of rising temperatures before it\'s too late.One of the latest developments in the clean energy sector is not only efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but in fact the use of natural gas to create clean energy storage solutions.
Engineer Stephen samberne and his team are working on a new technology that wants to make a new type of solar cell that can power nearly 100,000 households.To achieve this, this new battery technology will take advantage of the largest contributors to climate changeCO2.GE researchers have developed a way to convert stored carbon dioxide into solar storage technology.
The development will generate a new solar storage technology that introduces another competitor to the recently released lithium-ion solar cell technology --Led by famousTesla Powerwall.How does it work?There are two main elements of this technology.The first involves collecting heat and the second involves cooling the heat and storing it.
Heat from the sun is collected by the same solar panel technology commonly used in the solar industry, and the difference is the storage process of the captured energy.Once collected by solar panels, the heat is stored in a liquid of molten salt.This solution is very hot.Then cool the liquid molten salt with the remaining power with CO2 to produce dry ice.
The molten salt liquid then converts dry ice CO 2 into a \"supercritical\" fluid and efficiently converts energy into a turbine, called a solar wheel.This solar rotor can then supply the stored energy as needed.This process is efficient not only in terms of energy, but also in terms of space.
Sunrotor is small enough to fit on a shelf in the office to power 100,000 households.The space efficiency of this technology is a particularly revolutionary development, as the space required for some large-scale renewable energy installations is one of several shortcomings of current technology.In addition to increasing size efficiency, sunrotor technology is also looking to reduce energy costs from $250/MWh to $100/MWh.
\"It\'s very cheap because you don\'t make energy, you get energy from the sun or from the exhaust of the turbine, store it and transfer it,\" Sanborn said .\".Sunrotor technology is also very energy efficient;Once deployed, they may return up to storage energy to the grid.By contrast, the most efficient natural gas power plants can only generate a maximum energy return of 61%.
