The SOLETAIR project ( earlier post ) has produced its first 200 liters of synthetic fuel from solar energy and the air’s carbon dioxide via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The SOLETAIR project started in 2016. An electrolysis unit developed by Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) uses solar power to produce the required hydrogen.
