Petroleum Type Fuels Made From Solar and Atmospheric CO2

August 10, 2017 | Leave a Comment

Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) has announced the first 200 liters of synthetic fuel have now been produced from solar energy and the air’s carbon dioxide by KIT’s SOLETAIR project, a type of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The mobile chemical pilot plant can be used decentrally producing gasoline, diesel, and kerosene from regenerative hydrogen and carbon dioxide. […]

Making Fuel From CO2 and Water With Solar Heat

July 13, 2016 | Leave a Comment

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the ETH Zurich have collaborated to develop a ground-breaking process for making solar fuel. The new procedure uses the sun’s thermal energy to convert carbon dioxide and water directly into synthetic fuel. The team has unveiled a chemical process that uses the sun’s thermal energy to convert […]

Industrial Waste Gas to Jet Fuel

October 12, 2011 | 6 Comments

Waste gases emitted by blast furnaces, coke ovens and BOF (basic oxygen furnace) operations can now be converted into low-cost ethanol and high-value chemicals.  The new fuel production process recycles waste gases that would otherwise be oxidized further to carbon dioxide and released into the atmosphere. Britain’s Virgin Atlantic Airline announced the development of a […]
