Symyx Awarded Grant From Department of Energy for Solar Thermal Energy Research

by on Apr.17, 2009, under products

“… By funding Symyx’s work, the DOE hopes to foster the development of an advanced heat transfer fluid that can operate within a temperature range from 80 degrees Celsius up to 500 degrees Celsius. The new heat transfer fluid, when used with other advanced technologies, could significantly decrease solar electricity cost to as low as 5 to 7 cents per kilowatt hour. Lower costs would make solar thermal electricity competitive with gas and coal and would offer a clean, renewable source of energy. …”
