Another Energy Source- The World’s Largest Artificial Sun

Scientists hope experiment, which can generate temperatures of around 3,500C, will help to develop carbon-neutral fuel. German scientists are switching on “the world’s largest artificial sun” in the hope that intense light sources can be used to generate climate-friendly fuel. According to The guardian

When all the lamps are swivelled to concentrate light on a single spot, the instrument can generate temperatures of around 3,500C – around two to three times the temperature of a blast furnace.

The ultimate aim of the experiment is devise a setup to concentrate natural sunlight and to come up with the optimal setup for concentrating natural sunlight to power a reaction to produce hydrogen fuel.

“We’d need billions of tonnes of hydrogen if we wanted to drive aeroplanes and cars on CO2-free fuel,”- Hoffschmidt

This new energy source will be used to power machines including aeroplanes and motor cars in Germany. Since this artificial sun emits Hydrogen fuel, don't you think it will be a major partner to ozone layer depletion in later future?
