Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen for reverse water gas shift reaction to avoid producing CO 2 during the process is produced by electrolyzing water, driven by solar power. The researchers modeled the production of methanol, which can be used directly as transport fuel or as input for DME and FT-diesel synthesis. CO 2 charge @ $100/tC.
