Researchers at EPFL university in Switzerland have built a pilot-scale solar reactor capable of generating hydrogen with unprecedented efficiency for its size.
The parabolic dish on the EPFL campus can concentrate solar radiation nearly 1,000 times and a reactor above the dish uses sunlight to convert water into valuable and renewable hydrogen, oxygen and heat.
Sophia Haussener, Head of the Laboratory of Renewable Energy Science and Engineering (LRESE) in the School of Engineering, said, “This is the first system-level demonstration of solar hydrogen generation.
