Green Freedom to remove CO2 from the air and turn it into fuel

Researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory have announced a project called Green Freedom, aimed at extracting CO₂ from the air and converting it into fuel to power cars and airplanes.

Green Freedom hopes to provide a method of large-scale production of carbon-neutral, sulfur-free fuels and organic chemicals from air and water. Their goal is to create a fuel that will work with today’s existing car and airplane engines.

The footprint of the technology is fairly small. It would outfit existing nuclear power plants with carbon-capture equipment, so no new facilities would need to be built.

This project is a huge leap forward in the quest to protect our environment. Who can complain about taking harmful carbon dioxide out of the air and turning it into fuel? We’re all for this project, and hopefully they can get the technology ready soon so it can be put to work.
