Clean energy group makes major solar energy breakthrough

A secretive ‘clean energy’ company backed by Bill Gates claims to have made a major breakthrough in solar energy.

Heliogen, a startup that up until now has been shrouded in secrecy, just unveiled its ‘solar oven’. It’s a field of mirrors that can generate solar-powered heat of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius – which until now was only achievable with fossil fuels.

The company says the technology can be used to make steel, glass, cement, and other materials with far less carbon emission.

Bill Gates called it “a promising development in the quest to one day replace fossil fuels”.
