Synhelion

Synhelion is a pioneering company in the renewable energy sector, specializing in the production of solar fuels. Founded in 2016, the company emerged from groundbreaking research at ETH Zurich and has since developed technology that converts sunlight into synthetic fuels. These fuels are designed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation industry, which currently emits 8 billion tons of CO2 annually. Synhelion operates in the clean energy market, targeting industries and businesses committed to achieving net zero emissions. The company's business model revolves around the commercialization of its solar fuel technology, which involves the sale of solar fuel production systems and licensing its proprietary technology. Revenue is generated through these sales and licensing agreements. Synhelion's clients include transportation companies, energy providers, and industrial firms looking to reduce their carbon footprint. The company has demonstrated its technology at various scales, including a medium-scale demonstration under the EU Horizon 2020 program and a full-scale prototype. Synhelion aims to create a global impact by providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, thereby contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
