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.
What’s the catch?
When they say it’s efficient, they mean at not letting CO2 go, not in energy cost. Looks like step one is capturing it which is already energy intensive, and step 2 is reacting it with a strong base. So it takes a lot of stuff as input.
And they did this on a lab bench, not at scale in a plant.
This and fusion, neck and neck.
Burning it creates enormous clouds of Trioxin 2-4-5.
Does trioxin perchance give one superpowers?
You have lymphoma.
You’ll be able to feel yourself rot.
