The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded Pasadena, Calif.-based Heliogen $4.1 million to demonstrate a concentrated solar-thermal power (CSP) process for heating limestone to 950°C, which could reduce the carbon emissions in portland cement production.
CSP technologies deploy mirrors to beam sunlight onto a receiver, and can be used to deliver heat for energy-intensive industrial processes or generate electricity using a turbine.
