This Solar-Powered Reactor Sucks CO2 From the Air and Turns It Into Fuel

Summary

79% Informative

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have built a solar-powered reactor that converts CO2 into a gas that could one day fuel vehicles, power off-the-grid dwellings, and even produce pharmaceutical products.

At night , the reactor filters CO2 from the air and turns it into synthesis gas, or syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
