In June 2024, Synhelion inaugurated DAWN, the world’s first industrial plant for renewable solar fuel production, in Jülich, Germany, showcasing the robustness of Sun-to-Liquid technology. The plant uses solar heat to convert water and a RED II-certified carbon source into syngas, which is then processed into fuel. With continuous operation enabled by thermal energy storage, the first fuel batches will support various transport showcases, including SWISS International Air Lines as the first customer. A commercial plant in Spain with 1,000 tons/year capacity is planned for 2025, aiming to scale up to one million tons annually by 2033. By 2040, production could meet half of Europe’s SAF demand. Synhelion will initially build its own facilities, then transition to a technology and licensing provider.
Our sustainable solar fuels are nearly carbon-neutral as they only emit as much CO2 as went into their production. They are fully compatible with existing global fuel infrastructure and offer a viable, efficient, scalable, and environmentally friendly solution for clean, long-distance transportation. Especially in aviation, sustainable fuels are the only viable solution to defossilize aviation.
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.
