SUN-to-LIQUID project at COP25 in Madrid Spain
The SUN-to-LIQUID project was showcased by the IMDEA Research Institute at COP25 in December 2019, communicating about sustainable aviation fuel for future.
SUN-to-LIQUID broadcasted in Televisión Española (TVE1), programme “Vuelos insostenibles” #Unsustainable Flights #Sustainableaviationfuels #Solarfuel
#SUNtoLIQUID has successfully completed the solar fuel production campaign by splitting CO2 & water at 1500ºC!Transforming the future of the aviation sector. The SUNtoLIQUID approach uses concentrated solar energy to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon fuels from H2O and CO2.
#DIACAT Symposium final podium discussion. 2nd Keynote from Christoph Falter, Bauhaus Luftfahrt, on CO2 for synthetic fuels #SUN-to-LIQUID
Manuel Romero from @IMDEA_Energia presented the #SUNtoLIQUID project results at the prestigious #SolarWorldCongress 2019 in Chile. @ISES_Solar #aviationfuels #solarenergy
Renewable fuel for aircraft: The research project SUN-to-LIQUID was featured in ZDF heute in Europa.
SUN-to-LIQUID partners (ARTTIC and BHL) presented the project at the inauguration of Solar Reactor facility at ETH Zürich held on June 19. 2019.
To showcase this achievement SUN-to-LIQUID Demonstration Event was organised at the solar fuel facility in Móstoles (Spain).
SUN-to-LIQUID project work will be presented at the Fachkongress SolarChemieR. This congress is organized to present and discuss the potential of solar chemistry, the current research activities and the challenges for their commercialization. Bauhaus Luftfahrt, the Coordinating partner of the project will be extend the motivation behind SUN-to-LIQUID project i.e. emphasis on the continued need for fuels in aviation, updates on the project status and system analysis.

SUN-to-LIQUID project factsheet published after the second reporting period
SUN-to-LIQUID project consortium met for general assembly meeting to share the updates about project activities and discuss the outlook for last year of the project. The meeting was held at the DLR facility in Jülich which hosts a unique solar simulator. The meeting participants had the chance to visit this research facility as well.
SUN-to-LIQUID project members participated in the SolarPACES conference held between October 2-5, 2018 in Casablanca, Morocco.
Members of the SUN-to-LIQUID consortium presented the advances achieved in the project. Various posters and scientific articles were presented during the conference.
SUN-to-LIQUID Scientific workshop was organized on October 10-12, 2018 at IMDEA Energy Institute in Móstoles. Over 60 participants from 12 countries participated in the event.
We thank all the participants and speakers for their active participation and valuable contibutions in making the wokshop a big success.
Please find detailed information about the event here.
Bauhaus Luftfahrt will be at the ILA Future Lab Forum “Sustainable aviation fuels” on 26.4.2018! To see the first probe of solar kerosene from the SOLAR-JET project, visit them at 10:15-11:15, Hall 2 – 204.
It is our pleasure to annouce the SUN-to-LIQUID Summer School which will take place in June, 25th-29th, at IMDEA Energy Institute in Móstoles, Spain.
