EnviroMission planning to build solar tower to power 200,000 homes in Australia
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
EnviroMission Limited has put together an ambitious plan to erect an enormous solar tower in Australia that will produce enough power for 200,000 homes. This solar tower is designed to heat air up to extreme temperatures, then send the air through an enormous chimney where the rapidly moving air would power turbine fans. The 1000 meter chimney would easily be the largest structure on earth.
- Within five years EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia's leading producers of clean, green renewable energy.
- We are a newly listed public company committed to establishing profitable, large-scale renewable energy generation power stations for the Australian electricity market.
- Our aim is to lead the renewable energy market with new energy technologies that do not consume fuel resources or produce greenhouse gas emissions.
- EnviroMission owns the exclusive licence to German designed Solar Tower technology in Australia.
- Our first project will focus on developing this revolutionary technology into the world's first large-scale solar thermal power station capable of generating enough electricity to supply 200,000 typical Australian homes.
- Being a world first and the largest engineered structure ever proposed for construction is unimaginable for many people - a short animated video of an artist's impression of this landmark development can be viewed by clicking the below link.

- The Solar Tower project has been awarded Major Project Facilitation status from the Australian Federal Government that recognises the national significance of EnviroMission's major infrastructure development contribution to government objectives including the reduction in greenhouse gases.
- State Significant Development status has also been granted to the project by the NSW State Government recognising the significance of the project to NSW and has passed the planning approval process to the NSW Minister for Planning ensuring a streamlined approach to the planning process.
- We hope you will continue to follow the progress of our Solar Tower earmarked for Buronga in the Wentworth Shire of New South Wales, Australia.
