Fuel made from Sunlight!

Researchers in New Mexico discovered how to use sunlight to recycle carbon dioxide to produce fuels like methanol and gasoline which cars use. The researchers have tried to synthesize liquid fuels and they said the technology works and can reduce greenhouse-gas emissions although the full size scale plan could be a decade or more away. Recycling carbon dioxide is not a new idea but was advised to be too complicated and costly to be worth the effort. Oil prices are rising $100 for each barrel, researchers are very motivated to investigate carbon dioxide recycling so there wont be many concerns about global warming rising higher than it already is. A company named Los Alamos Renewable Energy has developed a way for generating electricity and fuel by creating a method using CO2. The solar reactor that divides carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen is a prototype that will be finished in April. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/01/S2P

Using Sunlight as Fuel

Scientist researchers in New Mexico discovered a way of using sunlight to recycle carbon dioxide and produce fuels like methanol or gasoline. Researchers said that the discovery works and could help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. The idea of recycling carbon dioxide isn't new but was considered too difficult and expensive to do; since gas prices are soaring to 100 dollars per barrel, researchers are motivated to investigate recycling the carbon dioxide. For example, Los Alamos Renewable Energy has developed a working idea of using CO2 to generate elecrticity and fuel.
