Swiss International Air Lines and its parent Lufthansa Group (LHAG.DE) have agreed with synthetic fuel group Synhelion to use its solar aviation fuel.
This will make SWISS the first airline in the world to use 'sun-to-liquid' fuel.
The process devised by Synhelion, a spinoff from the Swiss Institute of Technology, uses concentrated sunlight to produce carbon-neutral kerosene.
Synhelion will build the world's first facility for the industrial production of solar fuel in Germany this year, the statement said. SWISS is set to become the first customer for the solar kerosene in 2023.
