ABSTRACT:
A gaseous fuel is produced, utilizing thermolysis and a water-gas reaction, by heating a piece of carbon through exposure to reflector-focused solar radiation and contacting it with steam. The carbon is at least partially immersed in water within a chamber. A surface portion of the carbon is irradiated by the focused solar radiation through a window in the chamber and through the water and heated to at least 1000.degree. C. A cloud of steam is thus produced in the environment of the heated carbon surface, thereby enabling formation of the gaseous fuel. After being separated from the water, the fuel can be stored indefinitely in a container.
