Concentrated Solar Energy technical details regarding a number
of other approaches must be supplemented by other means. With
few exceptions, the processes discussed were in the development,
engineering design, and scale-up stages rather than the
exploratory research stage. Thus, the technology was fairly well
understood for many of the hydrogen production and methane
reforming cycles; the principles are known for oil shale
processing. An examination of the costs of fuel production
indicated that solar-derived fuels were currently significantly
more expensive
