   Swiss on track to be the first airline to use solar fuel   
   ...   
   ...   
   Swiss-based Synhelion, which is a spinoff from the Swiss Institute of   
   Technology, has mastered a way of manufacturing sustainable aviation   
   fuel (SAF) from renewable energy sources.   
   ...   
   ...   
   How is it made?   
      
   In short, it is a mixture of unimaginably high heat, steam and carbon   
   dioxide.   
      
   Synhelion is currently building a vast "mirror field" in Germany.   
   Those mirrors reflect the sun's rays into a receiver that converts the   
   light into heat. That heat is then transmitted into a thermochemical   
   reactor that heats steam and CO2 to around 1,500C until a new liquid   
   forms. That liquid is syngas.
