The video fails to mention that the feed is taken from carbon wastes/slag from the paper industry that would otherwise be BURNED and would have contributed to CO2 pollution. When judging clean energy, people constantly only look at the fuel efficiency at the end and completely ignore the preventative steps that reduce emissions. This proves once again that haters aren't interested in combating climate change but solely in criticizing the imperfection of renewable energy. It's like throwing away free food because it lacks a pinch of salt.

I am no chemist. But from CO2 and H2O, you get carbon, oxigen or hydrogen... nothing new here.

The way of the future !!!

Interested in how to get and concentrated CO2 from air?how about cost and economic of per ton solar fuel?

how and where to get CO2 resources?

I read in one of their papers (by ETH Zurich & Synhelion persons) that they hope to get efficiency (solar to fuel) to 13% to 19% range based on the type of fuel. I'll wager that won't be competitive when you consider the capital and on-going costs.

Some back of the envelope calculations. Solar energy over a day is ~200GJ/hectare [1 hectare = 2.47 acre]. That is equivalent energy to ~32.5bbl of crude oil or 5800l of kerosene [1532 gallon]. The largest operating concentrated solar plant (Noor 3 , Morrocco) is ~550hectare [2.2 sq.mile], so the impinging energy is equivalent to ~18,000bbl of oil per day. Let's assume 10% efficient. Then you'd need to use ~3100 km^2 at 10% efficiency to supply 1 million barrels of oil per day! At Noor-like cost ($800mill USD/550hectare) the 1million-barrel-per-day plant would cost ~$500Bill (half a trillion USD). Assuming 5% capital cost, and 20% annual operation and maintenance cost you'd be paying ~$340/barrel. You'd really want to get the efficiency to ~33% to compete with crude oil, tho' of course there is the carbon advantage. Seems very unlikely, but ... cool idea.

It's wonderful to see many years' hard work come together! Congratulations to the entire team.

Guten Abend! Добрый вечер! Удачного решения поставленных задач. Отличные перспективы для человечества.

From where the CH4 comes from? Ahaaa, from fossil fuels...

How long last the thermal storage?

Unfortunately, not a word about energy efficiency. How high is the energy efficiency with this developed system? Is the efficiency significantly higher than with conventional e-fuels?

I do understand that the production of syngas is a endothermic reaction but the Fischer-Tropsch process is highly exothermic. Therefore, highly integrated plants converting (bio-)methane into synthetic crude do not depend on a external heat source. This is why I struggle to understand the added value of the integration of solar process heat into a potential future BTL/PTL plant.

Great idea, hope it isn't just hype. The temptation and financial incentives to sell fraudulent 'solar' hydrocarbons that are actually fossil derived (see VW emissions scam, the olive oil industry, or HFC-23 credits) loom large. Building a relatively small amount of solar thermal capital rather than replace a world's worth of hydrocarbon burning equipment is a plausible though still enormous approach. Hope there is a licensing process that allows people to build them all over the world.

Hopefully this will break through and you will not be hindered or obstructed by the oil barons!

Beautiful

What are the emissions?

What is your total production now how many liters per day? What is the total cost per liter? Including the infrastructure cost and what is the cost not including the infrastructure like if it was all paid for

Well done!!!!

How much can be made from one large solar dish on a bright sunny day?

Brilliant! How much does this fuel cost per litre?

your process is well explained /s

Now they just need to figure out how ro get cheap co2...

The idea of keeping the internal combustion engine alive any longer than is absolutely required is only in the interest of the oil companies. There is enough of the present fuel to last for sufficient time for the development of alternative energy sources. Stop trying to hang on to a power source that is at least 70 years out of date. Other companies are producing food from sunlight and air!!! A more valid use intellect don't you think?

Quel serait le rendement énergétique d'une installation industrielle de ce type ? Merci.

Water in limited on earth ! Where will you take the huge amount of water needed to create 875 millions of Liters each year ? Catch in the atmosphere ? Carbon capture and fuel transformation on last stage is Huge energy-demanding ! Will it comes from solar panel ?

The problem with this is we need to bring down C02 from current levels not just recycle it back into the atmosphere. Why not fix carbon into building materials that will trap it long term like mollusks and trees do. More forest restoration please.

Wow really promising technology from proof of concept to practical now industrialized please 👍

How much fuel is produced per year for each m2 of the fuel plant?

Middle east will go bankrupt within 2 decades

amazing project

wow

amazing !!
