SWISS and the Lufthansa Group<\/strong> have concluded a strategic collaboration with the Synhelion company to bring its solar aviation fuel to market. This will make SWISS the first airline in the world to use \u2018sun-to-liquid\u2019 fuel. The process devised by Synhelion uses concentrated sunlight to produce carbon-neutral kerosene. With this collaboration, SWISS and Synhelion are playing a pioneering role in the production and the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) and the Lufthansa Group have concluded a strategic collaboration with ETH Zurich spinoff Synhelion to bring solar aviation fuel to market. This will make SWISS the first airline in the world to use solar kerosene. \u201cOur team-up with Synhelion is founded on our shared vision to make carbon-neutral flying in regular flight operations possible through the use of solar fuel,\u201d explains SWISS Chief Executive Officer Dieter Vranckx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe in a globalized world connected by climate-friendly mobility,\u201d adds Dr. Philipp Furler, Synhelion\u2019s co-founder and CEO. \u201cOur next-generation carbon-neutral solar kerosene is an economically and ecologically viable substitute for fossil fuels”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synhelion has developed a key technology for manufacturing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from renewable energy sources. The unique procedure uses concentrated solar heat to manufacture syngas which can then be synthesized into kerosene using standard industrial processes. This sun-to-liquid fuel closes the fuel carbon cycle: when combusted, it will only produce as much CO2 as went into its manufacture. The new fuel thus makes a major contribution to effectively decarbonizing air transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synhelion will build the world\u2019s first-ever facility for the industrial production of solar fuel in J\u00fclich (Germany) this year. SWISS is set to become the first customer for the solar kerosene in 2023. Under the collaboration now concluded, SWISS and the Lufthansa Group will support the development of Synhelion\u2019s planned commercial fuel production facility in Spain, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
