i fuckin hate shit like this. it’s just gathering co2 and making hydrogen from water then using fischer-tropsch to convert it into syngas.
the process uses a fuckload of energy. “japan” didn’t invent any of the processes.

🧪 Very high temperature solar thermochemistry is advancing clean aviation fuel. The first step is syngas using solar heat to drive reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and hydrogen from water. A simpler process makes this more accessible commercially

Solar syngas produced at moderate temperatures to speed market adoption
Two step solar syngas production required two temperatures, 1500°C and 1000°C. A new technique enables both steps to be done at 1000°C
