First-ever passenger bus at Zurich Airport fueled with Synhelion’s solar diesel
Synhelion and Zurich Airport have reached another milestone on the road to more sustainable transportation solutions: for the first time, a passenger bus at Zurich Airport has been fueled with solar diesel from Synhelion’s DAWN plant. The fuel is fully compatible with existing engines and infrastructure.
Why cars need both electrification and renewable fuels
The journey to a net-zero car sector is more complex than it seems. A recent study shows that the most effective way to decarbonize the car sector is not an “either-or” choice, but a combined strategy: accelerate electrification of new cars if possible, while simultaneously defossilizing the existing fleet with alternative fuels.

SWISS becomes world’s first airline to integrate Synhelion solar fuel into its flight operations
SWISS has become the first airline in the world to integrate the solar fuel manufactured by Swiss-based clean-tech pioneer Synhelion into its flight operations. The action marks a milestone for both partners on the journey to more sustainable aviation.
Synhelion fuels first car with solar gasoline
Swiss cleantech company 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.
Autocar – Synthetic fuels will coexist with EVs
Synthetic petrol is not a silver bullet for decarbonising transport but will instead complement electric cars in years to come.
Synhelion and INERATEC expand their collaboration to accelerate solar fuel production
Synhelion, a global leader in solar fuel technology, and INERATEC, a global leader in modular Gas-to-Liquid technology, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deepen their long-standing collaboration with the aim to roll out solar fuel production in Europe.
