CO2 to Fuel: How Real Is It?
Carbon Sciences — which wants to turn carbon dioxide into consumer products — says it has completed a prototype manufacturing system that shows how it can convert carbon dioxide, captured from a smokestack, into liquid fuels.
Technically, Carbon Science uses biocatalysts — i.e., enzymes and other naturally occurring catalysts — into methanol, a liquid fuel. The fuel can later be upgraded through chemical processing into gasoline, butanol or other higher value fuels.
