SkyFuel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SkyFuel is a company which is developing and commercializing thermal concentrating solar power (CSP), which is a promising technology for meeting large scale energy needs at a cost that can displace fossil fuels.[1] The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded SkyFuel a $435,000 grant to develop its Linear Power Tower (LPT) system for utility-scale solar thermal power plants. The LPT is a high-temperature linear Fresnel system. SkyFuel is also developing a parabolic trough concentrating collector utilizing a high-reflectance material called ReflecTech. ReflecTech silvered film was developed in conjunction with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). [2]
