All-in-one solar-powered tower makes carbon-neutral kerosene in the field at pilot-scale

Green Car Congress

Researchers in Europe led by a team from ETH Zurich have designed a fuel production system that uses water, CO 2 , and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain from water and CO 2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system. Zoller et al. Zoller et al.

Synhelion raises CHF 22M (US$23.6M) to support scaling of solar fuel production

Green Car Congress

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.

7 companies launch Green Hydrogen Catapult to increase green H2 production 50-fold over next 6 years

Green Car Congress

Green hydrogen is produced by using renewable energy (wind and solar) to power electrolysis that splits water into its constituent parts. Green ammonia, a derivative of green hydrogen, is also being tested to displace fossil fuels in thermal power generation, greatly decreasing the emissions intensity of existing energy infrastructure.
