A solar concentrator (1) is used to provide energy to a gas turbine (2). This drives an electrical generator (3), the electricity from which is used in an electrolyser (4) to produce hydrogen (5) from water. Carbon dioxide is captured from the atmosphere using an absorber (8), and fed into a fuel synthesis plant (11) together with the hydrogen (5), where these are used to form synthesis gas, and then a range of hydrocarbons (12) or alcohols (13). Recovered heat (6 and 14) and supplementary solar heating (7) may be used to pre-heat the water in the electrolyser (4). |
