Clean energy company achieves solar breakthrough

Clean energy company achieves solar breakthroughA clean energy company, Heliogen has been working quietly towards harnessing solar energy and generating extreme heat.

Heliogen has discovered a way to use Artificial Intelligence and mirrors to concentrate solar energy and generate heat that's above 1000 degrees Celsius.
 	The extreme heat generated through concentrated solar energy can then be used to make cement, steel, glass and other industrial processes. 
 	These industries have not yet been touched by the clean energy revolution.
 	This technology, once implemented, will be cheaper than the price of fossil fuels and also not emit carbon dioxide.
 	Concentrated solar power has been used in the past to produce electricity and to create heat for industry. However, it couldn't get temperatures hot enough to make cement and steel.
 	Heliogen is backed by some big names like Microsoft's Bill Gates and Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong.

Once the carbon-free sunlight can replace fossil fuels in the heavy carbon-emitting sector of industries, it'll make a big difference. There is a never-ending requirement for things like cement, steel glass etc. to build homes, hospitals and schools.
