Turning carbon dioxide waste into fuel

Californian company testing a revolutionary new method of recycling CO2 into fuel Carbon Sciences using biocatalyst technology to transform CO2 into fuel efficiently Technology could reduce the millions of tons of CO2 emitted by the energy sector LONDON, England (CNN) -- You might have thought that recycling is limited to paper, plastics and glass. Well, think again. A Californian company is developing a new technique for recycling carbon dioxide, or CO2, and turning it back into fuel. Carbon Sciences believe they have made a breakthrough with their technology, which they say can transform CO2 back into basic fuel building blocks efficiently. Their biocatalytic process converts CO2 into basic hydrocarbons - C1 (methane) C2 (ethane) and C3 (propane) -- which can then be utilized to make higher-grade fuels like gasoline and jet...
