Summary

Reviews how solar chimney technology has been developed and applied across Iraq and Saudi Arabia to produce clean power. A Tikrit prototype with a 36 m² collector and 6 m tower worked well locally. The authors also note gains in urban air quality and recommend larger collectors, hybrid renewable setups and further design optimisation.
