	The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower Solar Updraft Tower] is a proven but still largely experimental way to generate electricity. The source of heat can be solar (requiring a heat collecting area) or chemical fuel (e.g. biomass combustion). Waste heat from other processes (such as [[lime]] making, [[biochar] production, etc.) could be used. Below is a link collection of some research on small-scale updraft towers.
