This is a really important breakthrough for reducing carbon emissions in the building industry!

If you built a self-driving car from this cement, you’d have a clinker clanker clunker
You can do the same in a solar furnace, without the losses of electric power generation.
But it has to be done efficiently enough to be cost effective, which solar furnaces can’t do (yet). If you generate your electricity with renewable power, it’s essentially fine.

You generate heat with solar panel power: 20% conversion efficiency, 3% transmission loss.
You generate heat with solar radiance: 100% conversion efficiency, no transmissin
