(449c) SolPeD – solar per demand for power generation and fuel production
AIChE Annual Meeting
2017
2017 Annual Meeting
2017 International Congress on Energy
Symposium on Solar Power and Chemical Systems in Honor of Prof. Edward A. Fletcher III
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 - 4:05pm to 4:25pm
We are challenged to develop an energy conversion method, which could gradually
replace fossil fuel combustion on a worldwide scale, eventually leading to a renewabledominant
global energy supply. Whereas other renewable energy resources can have
important supporting roles, the only energy sources available on earth in large enough
quantities to replace fossil fuels are nuclear and solar.
The talk will describe a solar energy conversion process based on several complementing
novel technologies, and aimed to enable large-scale utilization of solar energy for yearround,
24/7 power generation and clean fuel production at high efficiency and affordable
costs.
The major technological challenges and proposed solutions will be discussed, and
ongoing effort of commercializing the technology will be reported.
