Taking carbon dioxide, water and sunlight as its only inputs, this solar thermal tower in Spain produces carbon-neutral replacement versions of diesel and jet fuel. It's a pilot plant, proving a new all-in-one sustainable fuel production process.
In an advance that could help aviation industry become carbon neutral, researchers have designed a fuel production system that uses water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce aviation fuel.
Scientists have built an aviation fuel production system that uses water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight. They have put the system into action, and the design, which was published on July 20th, 2022, in the journal Joule, might support the aviation industry to become carbon-free.
