German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Future Fuels

The vision of the DLR Institute of Future Fuels is to develop technological solutions for harvesting large amounts of solar energy in the sunbelt regions of the earth and use it together with the renewable resources water and air to produce fuels cost efficiently. From this vision the mission of the Institute evolves to develop materials, components and processes for solar fuel production, simulate them, scale them up, and analyze them techno- socio-economically.
