PSI team demonstrates direct hydrocarbon fuel production from water and CO2 by solar-driven thermochemical cycles

MAY 26, 2016
Solar-driven thermochemical cycles offer a direct means of storing solar energy in the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules. By utilizing a redox material such as ceria (CeO 2 ) as a reactive medium, STCs can produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide—i.e., syngas—from water and CO 2. The syngas can subsequently be upgraded to hydrocarbon fuels by the Fischer-Tropsch process.
