Oil Economy Focus Rapid Review
The Canadian company, Carbon Engineering, has indicated that the technology it has developed can capture carbon directly from the air for under $100 a tonne, rather than the current price of $600 per tonne, and then use the extracted gas as a key raw material for synthetic liquid fuel. The firm believes that this approach to liquid fuel has major advantages over biofuels in that it uses far less land and water. Furthermore, says the company, if their fuel were to get the same subsidies as other carbon neutral approaches then they would be able to raise funds and build plants very quickly.
