Ist Sun-to-X besser als Power-to-X?
Sonnenenergie direkt nutzen, um CO₂-neutrale Treibstoffe zu produzieren: So funktioniert Sun-to-X. Ein Pionier auf diesem Feld ist das Schweizer Startup Synhelion, das in naher Zukunft den Flughafen Zürich mit «Solar-Kerosin» beliefern will. Was sind die Vorteile der Technik und wie schlägt sie sich im Vergleich mit Power-to-X?
