Carbon dioxide is a problem; the source of global warming. Right? Yes. But CO2 can also be a solution. Researchers have created a technology that mimics a plant’s ability to inhale carbon dioxide and, with water, convert it into glucose and oxygen. In the process, a synthetic fuel is created that can be used to power vehicles. The technology could help fight climate change as it could power a sustainable cycle where carbon could be removed from the atmosphere, pumped back into cars before being released into the atmosphere again.
