This 'solar tower' deploys solar energy to convert water and carbon dioxode to produce non-fossil kerosene for jet fuel.
took note of the obstacles encountered by the Solar-Jet project, further noting that three years of work had resulted in“Unfortunately, the idea has suffered from two problems. One is that the dissociation of carbon dioxide and water only takes place at very high temperatures, typically above 2200°C.
“This intense solar flux, verified by the flux measurement system developed by project partner DLR, allows to reach reaction temperatures of more than 1,500°C within the solar reactor positioned at the top of the tower,” the project website explained. The solar tower model also allows for more localization and decentralization. That can help alleviate disruptions in the global shipping and commodities areas.
