Gasoline made from the sun has just passed its first major test, it could be a gamechanger

After hunting far and wide for renewable energy sources to power our cars, Swiss company Synhelion has debuted gasoline made from the sun, showing its accomplishment by powering a 1985 Audi Sport Quattro.

For decades, we’ve been trying to phase out gasoline. Plain and simple, it’s unhealthy for the planet we call home.

Nowadays, the EV era is well and truly taking over, and it’s contributing to a much greener carbon wheelprint.

But we can still do better, just as Synhelion has proven, powering an Audi Sport Quattro with gasoline made from the sun.

Swiss company makes strides by powering an Audi with Gasoline made from the sun

Car enthusiasts have been trying to make the most of the sun’s energy for years. Gearheads have even attached panels to the back of Cybertrucks and installed big sun-trap rig-ups at home for overnight charging.

But these are all half-measures. What would make things easier is taking the sun’s energy and turning it into fuel for all cars.

Well, that’s the plan for Swiss company Synhelion, which has created gasoline made from the sun.

How? Well, it uses solar energy to turn a biogenic carbon source and water into synthetic drop-in fuels like sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Synhelion has been working on gasoline made from the sun for years. And now the company has sent a 1985 Audi Sport Quattro around the Alps in a groundbreaking journey.

It previously powered a motorcycle journey, but this is the first time a car has used this source of fuel.

“We’ve shown that solar fuel can power a car in real-world conditions.

“It proves that our technology is ready for the road and that even iconic internal combustion engines can have a role in a green future,” said Philipp Furler, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Synhelion.

Is this the future for renewable energy?

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of alternative fuels.

Lamborghini says that this is the future, the only way manufacturers get to use iconic engines like the V8.

But others are opting for hydrogen-powered cars, which are similarly much, much greener.

For the most part, though, this new tech appears to be a very feasible method of running cars.

But like all renewable sources, Synhelion’s gasoline made from the sun will need to be affordable for everyone before saving the world.
