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. Solar heat is used to convert a mixture of methane, CO 2 , and water into syngas, which is then processed into any type of fuel.
