How Much Land Would Solar Thermochemistry Need to make All Our Aviation Fuel?

How much land would it take to make the world’s jet fuel using solar reforming?

Or – by 2030 – to make 100% carbon free jet fuel from CO2 and H2O in air?

Which regions are best suited?

Estimates are based on the date of future solar reactor efficiency

Including financial infrastructure comparisons enable future investment decisions

In regions where the costs of capital are higher, a poor financial environment will outweigh solar suitability:
