Technology

Carbon Sciences is developing technology that will allow the greenhouse gas, CO₂, to be taken out of the atmosphere and turned into gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, methanol, propane, and butane. The company is also modifying the technology to be placed at the output of large emitter, such as a power plant. ^[3] The main process involves taking the oxygen molecules out of water and carbon dioxide in a biocatalytic process. The remaining carbon and hydrogen are then combined to make basic hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons are then transformed into a variety of fuels.^[4]
