Solar plant SUN-to-LIQUID for the production of kerosene
At the Sun-to-LIQUID solar plant in Mósteles near Madrid, scientists succeeded in producing kerosene from the raw materials water, carbon dioxide and concentrated sunlight under real conditions for the first time. The image shows the mirror field and solar tower with the solar-thermochemical reactor in which synthesis gas is produced - a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. In a second step, a connected Fischer-Tropsch plant converts the synthesis gas into liquid kerosene.
