How is Syngas made?Synhelion uses solar heat to convert CO2 into synthetic fuels. When the sun is shining, solar radiation is reflected by a mirror field, concentrated onto a receiver, and converted into high-temperature process heat. The generated heat is fed to the thermochemical reactor that turns CO2 and H2O into syngas, a mixture of H2 and CO. The syngas is then processed into fuels by standard gas-to-liquids technology such as the Fischer-Tropsch process. Synhelion’s technology can produce any type of hydrocarbon fuel: jet fuel, gasoline, diesel. Synhelion has developed a thermal energy storage, so that the fuel can be produced around the clock and a high plant uptime is guaranteed. This means that the company will be able to offer solar fuels at competitive prices with fossil fuels. Thermal energy storage is much cheaper and environmentally friendlier than battery…
