CO2 is the new gasoline!



Scientists from different universities are working together to absorb CO2 from the air and convert it into chemicals that can be used to create fuel. The whole process is to said to be powered by solar energy. This, in time, would reduce the effects of climate change.

There are already processes in effect that try to do the same thing however they require many separate machines to do this kind of work. The scientists are hoping to create one large effective way to harvesting this CO2. This project also helps to produce electricity.

I think this is a great idea because we need to start reducing the amount of Co2 we put into the air and this allows us to use it in a possitive way. Also, this project seems to be even more of a benefit for all because it uses solar energy. Clearly, we can see that these universities are trying their very best to make the atmosphere as plentiful as possible. If only all universities thought this way.

  1. I agree this will reduce Co2 but will we in turn putting into the atmosphere? I think it is a great idea but if it in turn harms the atmosphere also then we need a more practical way.

  2. This idea can help us extremely, now and the future. Global warming is still in affect and we need to save our atmosphere.
