Abstracts: The concept of the project is utilization of solar energy for heating purpose. Trapping of solar radiation by greenhouse gases (GHGs) causes greenhouse effect and this ultimately increases earth’s temperature. The project idea consists of utilization of temperature raised due to Greenhouse effect which can be further utilized for different applications. The principle of greenhouse effect is used for heating purpose. Greenhouse gases like CO2, SO2 and CFC have the inbuilt characteristic of trapping heat. This property can be utilized to trap and store heat, which can be transferred through a suitable medium for various applications. The industries which give out GHGs as a residue / flue gases can make use of such systems for low or medium or high temperature applications, as per the temperatures obtained, which depends upon the heat storage capacity of different GHGs. The system being developed is based on the principle of heat trapping by GHGs and the storage and transfer of that heat for suitable applications. It will use CO2 as the GHG.
