Sun-To-X

Solar Energy for Carbon-Free Liquid Fuel

While the concept of using solar energy to drive chemical reactions that make fuels has been around for decades, the technology still has some way to go before it can be cost-efficient and scalable for industrial applications.

The Sun-To-X project uses solar energy and ambient humidity to produce hydrogen. The project focuses on using concentrated solar energy, to allow the hydrogen react to form a non-toxic, energy-dense liquid fuel called Hydrosil.

The product can have direct use in the transport and energy sectors, with water as the only emission removing barriers hindering the deployment of zero emission liquid fuels.
