This solar tower fuel plant will set a 'technological milestone towards the production of sustainable aviation fuels'.
The system uses solar energy to produce synthetic alternativesEuropean Union’s SUN-to-LIQUID project
Achieving this target needs a large share of alternative transportation fuels that includes a 40 percent target share of low carbon fuels in aviation itself. The four-year solar fuels project, which was kicked off in January 2016, hopes to address this.that are synthetic alternatives to fossil-derived fuels such as kerosene and diesel. According to Steinfeld, solar-made kerosene is compatible with the existing aviation infrastructure for fuel storage, distribution, and end use in jet engines.
Then, the concentrated solar energy drives oxidation-reduction reaction cycles in the solar reactor, which contains a porous structure made of ceria. The ceria — which is not consumed but can be used over and over — converts water and CO2 injected into the reactor into syngas, which is a tailored mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
