%X The alternative fuel production pathway by solar thermochemical splitting of water and carbon dioxide into hydrogen and carbon monoxide by redox reactions of a metal oxide, and their subsequent conversion into liquid fuels by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, is investigated. These fuels could provide a means to completely decarbonize the transport sector and thus to significantly reduce its climate impact. A generic model is developed for the description of solar thermochemical reactors including heat exchangers, where reduced elements of redox material move from the reduction to the oxidation chamber through a number of heat exchanger chambers, in which they transfer energy by radiation to the cold elements moving in counter-flow. In a first implementation of the model, infinitely fast thermal diffusion within the material is assumed and the influence on heat exchange of the wall separating the hot from the cold elements is neglected. A heat exchanger efficiency potential of over 80
