The aviation sector has charted a course to decarbonize itself – and investors see opportunity. According to BNEF, startups with a focus on low-carbon aviation technology raised $4.6 billion in 2022, and another $1.21 billion was added to that tally in the first half of 2023. Among venture capital and private equity investments, sustainable aviation …

This initiative will demonstrate the scalability and high efficiency of producing sustainable synthetic fuel from CO2, water, and sunlight. Synhelion is one of the industry partners for the project, providing the expertise for scaling up the prototype, developing the thermal energy storage system, and performing the exploitation analysis. Sun-to-Liquid was a game-changing project that jumpstarted …

Synhelion has joined the WEF’s Global Innovators Community. The Global Innovators Community is an invitation-only group of the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups that are at the forefront of ethical technological and business model innovation. Synhelion will actively contribute toward the Airports of Tomorrow (AoT) initiative. As part of the WEF’s Center for Nature …
Rising demand for housing in most major cities around the world is increasingly at odds with efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions, as the literal building blocks—concrete and cement—of the construction projects are extremely polluting. Roughly 7% of all carbon emissions today come from cement production, making it one of the highest-emitting industrial sectors, according to …

How can Synhelion’s solar receiver reach such high temperatures? Synhelion’s solar receiver achieves a temperature of 1,500°C and higher. That’s unprecedented. Even the Gen3 particle-based solar receiver being pilot-scale tested now at Sandia – and the DLR CentRec receiver licensed to Heliogen – operate at the (relatively!) lower temperature of 1,000°C. One of Synhelion’s solar …
