Engineers develop an efficient process to make fuel from carbon dioxide
An efficient new process can convert carbon dioxide into formate, a material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a fuel cell and generate electricity.
Next weeks news: same engineers mysteriously all committed suicide by two bullets to the back of each of their heads. Big oil has no comment.
If this discovery was really a thing you can bet it!
I am concerned about the growing mountain of miracle devices that are meant to solve climate change, and the environmental effects said mountain is having on climate change.
So they expect home users to handle liquid potassium or sodium formate? Isn't that quite hazardous?
Well, yes and no. Most likely its adoption would be where petroleum stations start creating it on site and selling like a carbon neutral gasoline. Energy has to come from somewhere, so it will probably take solar power to store as fomate and sell as fuel
Don't see how using the carbon again as fuel solves anything.
If you recycle existing carbon from the atmosphere then you're not adding more carbon. So, in that sense it's better.
