Imagine a liquid fuel made not from oil, but from sunlight, air, and water. In a landmark scientific journey, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a synthetic, carbon-neutral fuel that mimics photosynthesis—turning solar energy into liquid hydrocarbons. What began in a compact rooftop lab is now gaining traction: Germany has greenlit a test facility to scale production, and a recent road test in Switzerland proved its real-world potential. This is not just innovation—it’s a roadmap for a fossil-free fuel future. See More.
