Researchers in Europe led by a team from ETH Zurich have designed a fuel production system that uses water, CO 2 , and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain from water and CO 2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system. Zoller et al.

The thermochemical splitting of CO 2 and water in a two-step redox reaction yields carbon-neutral fuels. The thermochemical reaction to turn CO 2 and water into syngas takes place at 1,500 °C. This ultra-clean solar fuel closes the carbon cycle. Synhelion is developing two pathways to solar fuels: Redox splitting.

Using concentrated solar energy, they were able to produce kerosene from water vapor and carbon dioxide directly from air. Fuels derived from synthesis gas (or syngas)—an intermediate product that is a specific mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen—is a known alternative to conventional, fossil-derived fuels.

EPFL scientists have developed an Earth-abundant and low-cost catalytic system for splitting CO 2 into CO and oxygen—an important step towards achieving the conversion of renewable energy into hydrocarbon fuels. It included a contribution from Abengoa Research in Spain. A paper on the work appears in the journal Nature Energy.

A team at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) has designed a new simple, energy-efficient process (that also does not require any organic solvents) for the production of renewable diesel from biomass waste. For example, the excessive cleavage of carbon–carbon bonds and subsequent reformation leads to energy losses.

Carbon dioxide recycling in the methanol economy Source: Olah et al. The report’s authors presented four policy options: (1) market-driven approach; (2) regulatory push for carbon capture and utilization; (3) “methanol islands”; and (4) scenario-driven transition strategies. 2009, earlier post.
