This does indeed sound quite promising, especially if it can be combined with an end of pipe carbon capture technology in the same heavy industries while gradually replacing the fossile fuel use there.
Those thermal PV cells for electricity recuperation are also cool, and 40% efficiency is not bad at all compared to pumped hydropower storage for example.
I thought it was going to be coal from the headline ๐
