Green syngas production integrated with CSP can achieve economies of scale using power tower technology at a suitable temperature range for thermochemical processes with high-temperature solar heat inputs.
CSP is the only available energy source for renewable thermochemical production of hydrogen and/or syngas from water/carbon dioxide through solar redox processes. The solar thermochemical process has potential to convert syngas into liquid hydrocarbon fuels using only renewable/recoverable resources: solar energy, water and captured/recycled CO2.
CSP-aided reforming of methane-containing gaseous feedstocks with natural gas can offer a viable route for fossil fuel decarbonization and create a transition path towards a “solar hydrogen-solar fuels” path.
CSP systems can generate electricity as an alternative to PVs for electrolysis of steam or steam/CO2 mixtures towards hydrogen/syngas production.
DOE H2@scale aims for widespread production and utilization of hydrogen as an energy carrier across power sources and end uses.
