Multiple labs are confirming the relative simple method that was discovered BY ACCIDENT at ORNLabs recently. And that is a copper-carbon nanotube design that converts CO2 to ethanol. Although the results were unexpected, it's now one of the hottest topics in the effort to do "carbon sequestration" from fixed site power power plants, like coal and nat gas.
Instead of injecting the CO2 output from these plants into the ground to make "soda pop" --- this technology could turn the GreenHouse stack emission into a useful fuel for transportation. Or even put it back on the grid as "stored electricity".
Interesting how all of sudden, the possibilities to reduce greenhouse emissions from burning fossil fuels just got brighter.
