A Breakthrough Technology to Recycle CO2 into Fuel

Jose Vaz Pinto on October 29, 2009 | 1089 Views

Will mitigate the CO2 problem using the actual fuel infrastructure.



Recycling CO2 emissions into renewable liquid fuels can directly and immediately reduce the demand for liquid petroleum fuels - this is based on Carbon Science recently announced R first results.



Based on a projected industrial scale CO2 to fuel conversion efficiency range of 40% to 80%, Carbon Sciences believes its breakthrough CO2-to-Fuel technology can provide a significant portion of the world's liquid fuel supply.



Fuels produced with CO2-to-Fuel technology are essentially carbon neutral and do not contribute to global warming. In fact, their use mitigates CO2 that would have been emitted if petroleum was used. Unlike biofuels, such as cellulosic ethanol or biodiesel, fuels from CO2-to-Fuel technology are identical to that of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel and can be used as a direct replacement without new refineries, delivery infrastructures, or engine modifications.

Recycling CO2 Back into Fuel (http://www.carbonsciences.com/01/mark...> This dual energy and climate crisis threatens our way of life, as well as the security of nations. Meeting this challenge is one of the most pressing needs of the world. Most of the work on reducing CO2 levels in the atmosphere is focused on reducing emissions from fossil fuel combustion or capturing and sequestering the CO2 in underground geological formations. Underground CO2 sequestration is very expensive and requires ongoing monitoring with questionable success and no current commercial deployment. However, with the demand for fuel expected to remain high and harmful CO2 levels expected to increase, there exist another possible solution: the conversion of CO2 back to a hydrocarbon fuel.

Carbon Sciences is developing a breakthrough technology to recycle CO2 emissions into the basic fuel building blocks required to create gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other fuels.
