Soletair demo plant produces renewable hydrocarbon fuel from CO2 captured from the air

Green Car Congress

Solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity is used as a renewable energy source in the Soletair system to produce electricity especially for the hydrogen production unit—the most energy intensive part in the system. The system produces high-purity hydrogen gas at elevated pressures. Phase 1: Renewable energy.
