All-in-one Solar-powered Tower makes Carbon-Neutral Jet Fuel

•Entire process chain from H2O and CO2 to solar kerosene realized in a solar tower
•50-kW solar reactor demonstrated for ceria-based thermochemical redox splitting
•Consecutive redox cycling produced syngas suitable for FT synthesis
•4.1% solar-to-syngas energy efficiency achieved without implementing heat recovery

Researchers have designed a fuel production system that uses water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. They have implemented the system in the field, and the design, publishing July 20 in the journal Joule, could help the aviation industry become carbon neutral.

“We are the first to demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain from water and CO2 to kerosene in a fully-integrated solar tower system,” says Aldo Steinfeld (@solarfuels), ...
