Wood
Jülich
Swiss solar fuel innovator Synhelion has partnered with Wood, a global leader in energy consulting and engineering, to accelerate the commercialization of solar-based synthetic fuels. The collaboration leverages Wood's expertise in industrial chemical processes for syngas production and Synhelion's cutting-edge solar technology. In 2021, the two companies will co-design, build, install, and commission a full system at the Jülich site of the German Aerospace Center's solar tower.
This plant will showcase the industrial-scale production of syngas, a blend of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which can then be refined into liquid fuels like gasoline, diesel, or kerosene through established industrial methods. Additionally, the plant will produce solar thermal hydrogen.
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.
