Scientists from the US and Switzerland have created a prototype machine that harnesses the sun's energy to make liquid fuels from water.
The solar device uses sunlight and cerium oxide to break down water or carbon dioxide into hydrogen or carbon monoxide.
Using a parabolic mirror to focus sunlight, the device heats up cerium oxide to 1,600 degrees celsius in the presence of water or carbon dioxide, creating either hydrogen or carbon monoxide, which can be converted to liquid fuels.
