High Efficiency Solar Fuel

Magnificent ! We are not only still polluting, but extracting the fuels from two compounds that are esential to life, modifying their (as eco-nuts would say) delicate balance.

Sorry I couldn't resist; I actually suspect that the impact of human activities on our environment is not as bad as leaving diseases progress, not to extract and distribute energy, not having invented transportation means, not to chemically improve crops, and a long, long etcetera.

Well if we take co2 from the air them we are cleaning the air and the resulting fuel is like a oil relate fuel. That mean we are doing a circle. But we still need better engines than the ones we have until now.

Long time ago, the plants using photosynthesis trap the CO2 from the atmosphere and wen they die and the animals eating plants die too they left a legacy of mineral carbon and oil underground. They clean the atmosphere of CO2 too. they change the atmosphere from 5% to 20% oxygen and left open the door for more advance oxygen breathing animals. Today using oil we are releasing the CO2 into the atmosphere. It is true that the oceans are an essentially inexhaustible reservoir of CO2 but it is getting to the limit. A way to take the CO2 from the atmosphere, use it like a fuel and put it back to the atmosphere will be the ideal way to get solar energy and use it in engines and stop releasing the CO2 from the mineral oil and carbon
