Greek HydroSol Group Produces Solar Energy from Water

A solar platform in Almeria, Spain, produces hydrogen from renewable resources by means of a reactor made by the HydroSol team, coordinated by Athanassios Constantopoulos.

An important step toward a hydrogen society was made on March 31, 2008 by a Greek research team from Thessaloniki working in Spain which held its first official demonstration of a pilot-scale solar reactor at Spain’s Almeria Solar Platform. The project produces clean energy in the form of hydrogen exclusively from water and the sun without emitting any pollutants or greenhouse gases.

The efficiency of converting the solar energy is as high as 70 percent and appears to be the answer to the difficult problem of producing economically efficient hydrogen from renewable energy sources. It is the largest solar reactor in the world, producing 100 kilowatts, and has therefore attracted the attention of researchers and investors from around the world
