CO2 out of the Atmosphere and Turn It into Fuel

Giant Fans Will Soon Suck CO2 out of the Atmosphere and Turn It into Fuel This is rather exciting. A new technology is allowing giant fans to be built that will suck the CO2 out of the atmosphere, and turn it into fuel: http://ow.ly/U79dj Emissions from the transport sector represent about 24 percent of global CO2 emissions and have the highest emissions growth of all. There haven’t been solutions for capturing the amount already released into the atmosphere by cars, trucks, and planes. That is until now! A privately owned (backed by Bill Gates) company called Carbon Engineering has been developing the technology that is now ready to be implemented on a larger scale. The way the system works is this — after the air enters into the facility, it passes through a CO2-absorbent liquid that traps about 80 percent of the carbon dioxide into a solution for further processing. In their facility, the CO2 will be recovered from the carbonate solution and integrated into the production of liquid hydrocarbons, a non climate impacting fuel!

If it works and works on a large scale, it will be great. Reply0 Replies Join the conversation POST SEE MORE RESPONSES
