SOLAR FUELS
FROM AIR AND SUNLIGHT
The solutions of Synhelion combine state-of-the-art solar tower systems with proprietary high-temperature thermochemical processes to produce solar fuels.

The absorbing gas receiver efficiently delivers high-tempe- rature process heat beyond 1’500°C.
The thermochemical reactor enables
endothermic reactions for syngas production.
The thermal energy storage allows for
continuous 24/7 operation.
