The Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium (SBRC) has announced that in March 2016, it will begin operating the world?s first bioenergy research facility using desert land ? irrigated by seawater ? to produce both food and aviation fuels
The sand can store solar energy up to 1000?C, making it a more efficient material as it can absorb energy at such high temperatures. (Image source: Abdulaziz AlHabib/sxc.hu)
Researchers working at Masdar Institute have discovered that the UAE?s desert sand can be used in concentrated solar power facilities to store solar energy, making it a viable and cost effective alternative to the current materials being used
The project was completed in August this year. (Image source: Skeeze/Pixabay)
