Recycling Carbon Dioxide

With gas going over one hundred dollars a barrel, and the cost of everything rising because of it, it is nice to see some progress being made on the recycling front.

The Sunlight to Petrol, or S2P, project essentially reverses the combustion process, recovering the building blocks of hydrocarbons. They can then be used to synthesize liquid fuels like methanol or gasoline. Researchers said the technology already works and could help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, although large-scale implementation could be a decade or more away.

Not only should this help out fuel costs, but with reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we can help the environment as well.
