Scientists have produced 80 litres of synthetic fuel from solar power and carbon dioxide in the air. The fuel was produced in a mobile and compact pilot plant as part of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology's Soletair project. Small enough to fit in a shipping container, the plant can be used for decentralised production of petrol, diesel and kerosene from regenerative hydrogen and CO2. Currently the pilot has a production capacity of 200 litres a day.
