00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.400
At Synhelion, we turn sunlight into fuel. We use renewable energy to produce sustainable

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.838
fuels that can directly replace fossil fuels.

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:12.160
So how does it work?

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.160
The process starts with renewable 
energy, which powers our proprietary

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.320
electric gas heater to generate 
high-temperature process heat.

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.560
Part of this heat directly drives our proprietary 
thermochemical reactor. Here, we feed in water,

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:34.480
carbon dioxide, and methane to produce 
syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.760
monoxide. The carbon dioxide and methane 
come from RED-certified biogenic waste,

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:50.400
which is converted into raw biogas through 
anaerobic digestion in a standard biogas plant.

00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:55.280
During daytime, the part of the heat, which 
is not directly used in the reactor process,

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.200
is stored in our cost-effective thermal 
energy storage. This storage allows the

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:07.200
process to run day and night – 
even when the sun isn’t shining.

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.120
Next, we convert the syngas into synthetic crude 
oil – or syncrude – using the Fischer-Tropsch

00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:21.200
process. This syncrude is then refined in standard 
refineries to produce renewable drop-in fuels,

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:28.160
such as solar jet fuel for aircraft, diesel for 
ships and trucks, and gasoline for cars.

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:33.920
Our renewable synthetic fuels are fully compatible 
with today’s global fuel infrastructure.

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.040
By replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels,

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.720
Synhelion is contributing to a 
net-zero transportation sector.
