Los Alamos National Laboratory has developed a low-risk, transformational concept, called Green Freedom™, for large-scale production of carbon-neutral, sulfur-free fuels and organic chemicals from air and water.
Currently, the principal market for the Green Freedom production concept is fuel for vehicles and aircraft.
Our concept enhances U.S. energy and material security by reducing dependence on imported oil. Initial system and economic analyses indicate that the prices of Green Freedom commodities would be either comparable to the current market or competitive with those of other carbon-neutral, alternative technologies currently being considered
The above quotes come from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) website describing Green Freedom™, a concept for transforming carbon dioxide into fuel. The idea is to be able to make a capable of replacing the current fuel in vehicles and aircraft without need for mechanical modifications.
Unlike other bio-fuel production, this concept uses already existing power plants and does not need large tracts of land or farming resources for production.
If this all works out the way it is planned… well. That’s not for me to say. But it sure would be nice to actually take carbon dioxide from the air and make fuel out of it.
