"The Solar Furnace" is a revolutionary technology to combat gas emissions
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A new technology in solar power has recently opened the door to a "revolution" in the manufacture of materials such as steel, glass and cement, the company said on Sunday.
The company reported that it uses artificial intelligence to make matrix mirrors capable of focusing sunlight at one point, according to the newspaper "Daily Mail" Britain.
After concentrating sunlight, a temperature of 1000 ° C is obtained, about a quarter of the surface temperature of the sun.
This heat could be used in manufacturing processes in sectors such as steel and cement, which would help mankind avoid the most prominent cause of greenhouse gas emissions.
Heliogen is not the first to concentrate sunlight to produce a "solar oven," but it is the first to reach such a high temperature.
Helogen is betting that its technology will become a substitute for fossil fuels in cement plants.
If achieved, this would have a positive impact on the environment, as factories account for about 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, according to the International Energy Agency.

The technology being developed will become cheaper than fossil fuels, and without CO2 emissions, “this is an unprecedented achievement,” Bill Gros, CEO of Heliogen, told CNN.
