Solar fuels are synthetic fuels produced from solar energy. They are climate-friendly, renewable, and affordable. A cutting-edge technology that offers a truly sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Synhelion is on a mission to replace fossil fuels by economically viable synthetic fuels. The solution uses high-temperature solar heat to convert water and CO2 into synthetic fuels; so-called solar fuels. These fuels are compatible with the current global fuel infrastructure and reduce net CO2 emissions by up to 100%. The technology combines state-of-the-art solar tower systems with proprietary high-temperature thermochemical processes for the production of solar fuels.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Compatible with the existing engines and turbines
- •Net CO2 emissions reduced by up to 100%
- •60 to 100 times more energy per mass than lithium-ion batteries
- •Produced with 100% renewable solar energy
- •Potential to cover 50 times global jet fuel demand
The Financial Benefits
- •CO2 becomes a valuable feedstock for the production of solar fuels
- •Short term cost is estimated at EUR 1 to 2 per liter, long-term cost is at EUR 0.5 to 1 per liter
