Synhelion and CEMEX make further progress toward the world’s first fully solar-powered cement plant
Synhelion and Cemex announced today a significant milestone in their joint effort to develop fully
solar-driven cement production: the scaling of their technology to industrially-viable levels. This
includes the continuous production of clinker, the most energy-intensive part of cement
manufacturing, using only solar heat.
University of Florida and Synhelion to scale up solar hydrogen energy solution
Synhelion and its partner, University of Florida, announced today that their joint project has been awarded US$ 2.7 million from the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO).
