Science
A sustainable solution that turns carbon dioxide into renewable chemicals respecting nature’s own carbon cycle.
Liquid Sun DNA
Liquid Sun creates sustainable energy and chemical innovations to make our planet a safer and healthier place to live. This requires a leap, both in ambition and in technology. It will be achieved by mimicking nature’s own processes.
For us, that means respecting the natural carbon cycle of the world. Using green electricity and CO2 from the air we can balance the cycle, allowing us to pursue our normal lives without adding greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
With our technology we accelerate energy transition into fossil free future.
Underlying principles of the Liquid Sun technology
A sustainable solution that turns carbon dioxide into renewable chemicals. Liquid Sun is an electrolyzer reactor for synthetic hydrocarbon production using CO2 and water as raw materials.
It not only produces value-added commodity chemicals and stores energy in transportable fuels, but also alleviates the greenhouse effect.
Electrochemical
Reactor
Over 80% of world energy is produced by burning carbon into CO2. This process can also be reversed, where CO2 and water are turned into hydrocarbons and oxygen by using electricity. This is done by using innovative catalyst materials and reactor designs. Liquid Sun’s special catalyst materials enable selective hydrocarbon production from simple structures such as methane to more complex one's like formic acid with high yields.
Photoelectrochemical
Reactor
The photoelectrochemical reactor integrated with the multijunction solar cell enables Liquid Sun reactor to utilize the inexhaustible energy of the sun. These cells are capable of providing over 50% solar-to-power efficiency, which makes it several times more effective than existing PV solar panels.
