We can produce any type of renewable fuel: kerosene, gasoline, diesel, methanol, hydrogen, synthetic crude oil, and many more. This is possible because we produce hydrocarbon chains – and simply put, fuels are nothing else but hydrocarbon chains of different lengths.

No, our renewable fuels are a drop-in technology, which means that they can replace fossil fuels without any need to change the existing global fuel infrastructure. They are compatible with existing internal combustion engines and jet engines.

In principle, our renewable fuels are identical with conventional fuels. However, they contain fewer impurities, which means they emit less noxious gases when burned. A win-win situation for the environment!

Yes, it is. When conventional fuels are burnt with oxygen, they release heat, CO₂, and water vapor. Synhelion’s technology reverses this process. With the help of renewable heat, we recombine water vapor and CO₂ into hydrocarbon fuels.

At scale, we’ll reach long-term production costs below EUR 0.8 per liter, which is in the range of refined fossil fuels.

The transportation industry accounts for approximately 25 percent – or 8 billion tons – of manmade CO₂ emissions per year. CO₂ is the principal greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. Replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels is therefore one of the much-needed solutions to fight climate change. However, Synhelion believes that to combat climate change and its related problems, it is important that many different, new technologies and innovations come together.

Yes, because our fuels are produced from abundant resources and installed on non-arable land. An independent study assessing the geographical potential concludes that our fuels could cover 50 times the current global jet fuel demand.

Synhelion is successfully producing renewable jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline at DAWN, our first industrial-scale fuel plant. The company is now preparing for global rollout and will build and operate initial commercial plants itself before licensing its technology for global deployment. Our upcoming commercial plant will be built in Germany, right next to our existing industrial demonstration plant. This plant will have a production capacity of 1’000 tons per year. Further specifications will be announced later.

Synhelion’s mission is to support the defossilization of the transportation sector, especially those sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as aviation and shipping.

In road transportation, electrification plays a key role in reducing CO₂ emissions. While electromobility can be rolled out quickly in some regions of the world, such as Europe, it will take much longer in other regions to significantly reduce the number of vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE). Studies show that there will be many remaining ICE vehicles around the world that will also need to be powered sustainably to meet net-zero emission targets by 2050. As a complementary solution to road electrification, Synhelion’s renewable fuels can help achieve these targets.
