A pilot plant jointly funded by the EU, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich (ETHZ) has successfully demonstrated this process in a 300 kW pilot plant at the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) in Rehovot, near Tel Aviv, Israel. The plant has produced 45 kg of zinc per hour. This method of solar energy storage is not yet commercially available. 

Kokorin, Alexander I, was bom in 1947. Was graduated as a biophysicist in 1970 Ph.D. (Candidate of Sciences) in 1974 D.Sc. degree (Doctor of Sciences) in physical chemistry - in 1992. At present Principal Researcher and Deputy Head of the Division of Kinetics and Catalysis, N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. Area of research interests chemical methods of solar energy conversion chemical physics of organized molecular systems, including nanosized oxide semiconductors doped with transition metal ions, and polymer-metal complexes the study of their structure, absorptive, catalytic, photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties. EPR spectroscopy and spin-spin interaction between paramagnetics. He is the author and co-author of more than 170 publications, including two books and several reviews and book chapters.
