Synhelion opens the world's first solar fuel production plant
A field of mirrors absorbs heat and transfers it to a thermochemical reactor, where carbon dioxide and water are used to create synthetic fuels that can then be refined into kerosene, gasoline and diesel.
Now the plant can generate only 1,000 tons per year, but by 2033 they want to build a whole network in different countries, increasing production to 1 million tons and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

A new way of generating energy has been proposed: vertical wind turbin
Joe Doucet showed a smart system for generating energy based on a multitude of vertical wind turbines. The project is called AIRIVA.
The system consists of 2 structures with 8 turbines each, measuring 2.1 x 2.1 x 1.05 meters. The company estimates that 5 such units would be required to provide 100% of the electricity for 1 medium-sized house.
In 2024, Doucet intends to create a wall of 25 vertic
