We turn sunlight into fuel.

And move the world toward net zero.

Transforming transportation

As a global leader in renewable fuels, Synhelion is pioneering the future of clean mobility. With the world’s first solar fuel plant in operation, we produce renewable synthetic fuels from solar energy. Our fuels directly replace fossil fuels, making net-zero transportation a reality.

The transportation industry emits 8 billion tons of CO2 per year. We work to get this number to zero.

Solar fuel hits the road

Synhelion has fueled a car with solar gasoline for the first time ever – a global first for road transportation. The 1985 Audi Sport quattro, part of the AMAG Classic car collection, became the first vehicle in history to run on solar gasoline produced at Synhelion’s industrial-scale plant DAWN in Jülich, Germany.
