Watch the new video for project SUN-to-LIQUID - Renewable Transportation Fuels from Solar Energy
Watch the new SUN-to-LIQUID project video! - https://youtu.be/IaUe23OhHXg The SUN-to-LIQUID project develops an alternative fuel technology that promises unlimited renewable transportation fuel supply from water, CO2 and concentrated sunlight. The project, which is funded by the EU and Switzerland, can have important implications for the transportation sectors, especially for the long-haul aviation and shipping sectors, which are strongly dependent on hydrocarbon fuels. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become crucial in order to meet the global climate goals. This translates into a sustainable fuel demand for aviation of hundreds of millions of tons per year. As this technology does not require cultivable land, it does not compete with food or feed production. In fact, it has the potential to cover the future fuel demand sustainably at a global scale. The four-year solar fuels project achieved to bring this radical new technology of synthesizing liquid transportation fuels from the laboratory environment to the field, one step closer to the ultimate aim of a future full-scale commercial plant. The solar fuel plant is located at IMDEA Energy Institute, in Móstoles, Spain and was designed and constructed within the SUN-to-LIQUID project. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 654408. The activities performed by the partner ETH Zürich have been supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) under contract Nº 150330. https://www.sun-to-liquid.eu/
