THE WORLD’S first industrial plant using solar heat to make fuels has been opened in Germany. Using a vast array of mirrors that focus the sun’s heat onto a tower, the technology’s developer Synhelion plans to use its process to produce greener fuel for planes, ships and cars, and even low-carbon cement.
Agreed. Or the heating of buildings and warm water. (edit: would also be very! inefficient)
Maybe in some remote, off-grid cabins, otherwise heating with synthetic fuels would be hugely inefficient.
Yes. That is how I meant the comment. I see now, it could be read both ways.
