Photovoltaic power is increasingly competing with grid power in the EU and around the world. Soon, sunshine could be used to decarbonise air travel. The potential in solar fuel is shining. The EU-funded SUNER-C project will put these uses under a bright spotlight. Bringing together 31 organisations from a variety of sectors and across the EU, the project will speed up the development of solar fuels and chemicals. By replacing fossil-derived fuels and chemicals with renewables and carbon recycling, SUNER-C aims to contribute to the creation of a circular economy.
