Help us fight climate change and solve the energy crisis. Join us . Learn More The SOFI team dreams big. We believe the development of a carbon neutral solar fuel is the greatest energy opportunity of our lifetime. Using just sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, we can create a clean liquid fuel that could someday power our cars, airplanes, and homes without contributing to climate change. But it won’t happen without a commitment to supporting research and collaboration. Blockchain technology can serve as the backbone for the transactional infrastructure of the solar energy sector. The technology powers cryptocurrencies too. Crypto trading can be made more efficient with trading bots like bitcoin prime. Visit https://coincierge.de/bitcoin-prime/ to learn the benefits of this trading platform. Our members include academic pioneers and industry leaders who are dedicated to working together, with us, to shape a new energy landscape. SOFI at the United Nations SOFI Managing Director Dick Co was invited to speak at the United Nations Science, Technology, and Innovation Forum on Sustainable Development Goals . …make government funded research massively more accessible for innovators around the world.” PuttingCO 2 Back to Work ” was the topic of a New York Times Science piece quotes SOFI’s Dick Co: The big challenge is, how do we go from milligrams to megatons?…How do we make a dent in our energy portfolio when people are working in test tubes today?” Viktor Koen Stay up to date on our projects & what we’re reading and writing about. Knowledge Map SOFI Knowledge Map: Have you ever wanted to be able to organize all of the information from the research publications you read? Check out the SOFI Knowledge Map. It uses a custom solar fuels taxonomy to help capture and organize the data, facts, and metrics in solar fuels literature. Demonstration Project SOFI Demonstration Project: We have a 4 phase plan in place to build this initial version on a demonstration scale to utilize solar power, water, and carbon dioxide to produce methanol. One attractive feature of the SOFI Demo Project is that the entire system is modular. This provides the opportunity to understand and overcome the challenges of building an integrated unit, as well as to partner with frontline researchers and engineers to incorporate new technologies as the field develops. SOFI’s goal is to seed many versions of the Demo Project, where we are able to move technologies from research labs to a demonstration scale testing module by proving the field with performance metrics and access to hands on time with an operating integrated system. We know the SOFI Demo Project can assist and accelerate laboratory research through collaboration and community development.

Commercializing Carbon Neutral Crude by Amanda Smeigh | Oct 13, 2017 This July, Nordic Blue Crude AS (NBC) announced their intentions to build a commercial scale facility in Herøya, Norway that will produce the synthetic crude oil referred to as Blue Crude”. Proven out in Dresden, Germany over the past 3 years, Blue Crude is ready for... Coming in at Number 4… by Amanda Smeigh | Aug 28, 2017 When we saw the World Economic Forums’ list of Top Ten Emerging Technologies of 2017 ranked a liquid fuel from sunlight” at number 4, we were elated. The diverse list compiled by the WEF and Scientific American advisory board, included solar fuels technology amongst many other amazing and exciting technologies that have potential to significantly impact society. Appropriately, the main criteria require that a technology have the potential to: …improve lives, transform industries and safeguard the planet.” Touting the ability of a solar fuel to be made from CO2 the WEF said… Because SOFI is scouting the industry for promising technologies instead of pitching its own wares, it represents an ideal partnership target.” - Lux Research Alternative Fuels Journal” 9-2013 Subscribe to Our Newsletter Get regular updates from SOFI and hear the latest news and advancements from our team.
