In a solar chimney, an upward flow of air is induced by heating the air at the base of a tall chimney. The airflow up the chimney drives a turbine which generates electricity. Following an initial 51 kW prototype with a 200 m chimney in Spain, a larger 250 MW plant with a 1,000 m chimney was proposed for southern NSW. Development of this proposal has not proceeded and this technology is not proven for commercial operation.
