The research plant is located on the roof of the ETH building on Sonneggstrasse.
Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a novel technology that produces liquid hydrocarbon fuels exclusively from sunlight and air. For the first time worldwide they demonstrate the entire thermochemical process chain under real field conditions. The new solar mini-refinery is located on the roof of ETH's Machine Laboratory building in Zurich.

ETH researchers have developed a solar plant to produce synthetic liquid fuels that release as much CO
2 during their combustion as previously extracted from the air for their production. CO
2 and water are extracted directly from ambient air and split using solar energy.
