Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a device designed to capture carbon dioxide directly from the air and turn it into fuel.

The reactor is solely solar-powered and uses the power of the Sun to turn the carbon dioxide into syngas.

Syngas is short for synthesis gas and can be used as a fuel, but the team is aiming to find a way of converting it into liquid fuel.
