Abstract[English]
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system comprising: at least one energy harvesting device (110) configured to harvest radiative energy from two opposite sides of the respective energy harvesting device (110); a layer of a granular slag material (210) comprising at least 70% of calcium oxide and/or silicon dioxide between the at least one energy harvesting device (210) and ground, whereby solar radiance to a side of each energy harvesting device (210) not facing direct sunlight is affected by reflection from the granular slag material (210), and whereby carbon dioxide is captured from the atmosphere by reacting with calcium oxide comprised in the granular slag material (210).[French]
Selon un aspect donné à titre d'exemple, la présente invention concerne un système comprenant : au moins un dispositif de collecte d'énergie (110) configuré pour collecter de l'énergie radiative à partir de deux côtés opposés respectifs du dispositif de collecte d'énergie (110) ; une couche d'un matériau de laitier granulaire (210) comprenant au moins 70 % d'oxyde de calcium et/ou de dioxyde de silicium entre le ou les dispositifs de collecte d'énergie (210) et le sol, de sorte que le rayonnement solaire vers un côté de chaque dispositif de collecte d'énergie (210) qui n'est pas directement exposé à la lumière du soleil soit affecté par la réflexion sur le matériau de laitier granulaire (210), et que le dioxyde de carbone soit capturé dans l'atmosphère en réagissant avec l'oxyde de calcium contenu dans le matériau de laitier granulaire (210).
