Stacked DAC A direct air capture CO2-to-gasoline scheme that works?
Twice I’ve been dazzled by schemes for scrubbing CO out of the atmosphere and turning it into fuel. In July 2008 it was NaOH scrubbers and exotic catalysts; in March 2012, it was ionic amine fluids and a formic-acid fuel cell. Both were tricky to describe, energy intense, and costly; years later, neither is ready for prime time. Then this June my news-to-fuel scheme that’s already running in a pilot plant.
