As climate change edges from crisis to emergency, the aviation sector looks set to miss its 2050 goal of net-zero emissions. A glimmer of hope, however, comes from solar fuels. Using concentrated solar energy, they were able to produce kerosene from water vapor and carbon dioxide directly from air.
