SUN-to-LIQUID II demonstrates scalability and high efficiency in the production of sustainable hydrocarbon fuel

The European Green Deal aims at a 90% reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 which requires large volumes of liquid fuels especially for aviation. SUN-to-LIQUID II addresses this challenge by developing an integrated solar thermochemical pathway for sustainable and cost effective fuel production at the scale of future demand directly from sunlight, water and CO2.

Sustainable transportation with solar energy

The transportation sector will play an important role in the transition to a society living on 100% renewable energy, and solar radiation is the most scalable form of renewable.
