The EU FP7 project, Solar-Jet (http://www.solar-jet.aero) was awarded with the AIREG-price, which focuses on renewable energy deployment in Germany, for their pioneering demonstration of solar jet fuel production. The key component of the entire process chain is the solar reactor, which is developed by the team of Prof. Aldo Steinfeld.
