    Swiss on track to be the first airline to use solar fuel

    Swiss-based Synhelion, which is a spinoff from the Swiss Institute of Technology, has mastered a way of manufacturing sustainable aviation
    fuel (SAF) from renewable energy sources.

    How is it made?

    In short, it is a mixture of unimaginably high heat, steam and carbon
    dioxide.

    Synhelion is currently building a vast "mirror field" in Germany.
    Those mirrors reflect the sun's rays into a receiver that converts the
    light into heat. That heat is then transmitted into a thermochemical
    reactor that heats steam and CO2 to around 1,500C until a new liquid
    forms. That liquid is syngas.
