China has unveiled the world’s first dual-tower solar thermal power plant.
It utilises an innovative design to significantly improve energy efficiency.
The plant features two 200-meter-tall towers, each surrounded by nearly 30,000 mirrors that form overlapping circles to focus sunlight onto the towers.
The mirrors in the overlapping area can be utilized by either tower.
The concentrated sunlight heats water inside the towers, generating steam that drives turbines to produce electricity.
