Diesel from air and water

[quote]Audi has begun production of a synthetic diesel fuel made from water, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. Unlike fossil fuels, which release additional carbon into the atmosphere, Audi’s “e-diesel,” which is being produced at a plant in Dresden in conjunction with the German alternative energy company Sunfire, has a net-zero carbon footprint because it is made with carbon dioxide taken from the air. The challenge for Audi will be ramping up its fuel from a science project to a commercial success. It seems to have ambitions to do so: it has been pursuing carbon-neutral fuels since 2009, and its partnership with Sunfire is just one of several collaborations with energy companies. [/quote] One of the biggest issues people always have with alternative energy is giving up their vehicles. I'm no different, I love my V8 4x4 truck. But I also care a lot about trying to save our environment, and this is the best of both worlds. Yay science! [url=http://qz.com/392138/audi-is-making-fuel-from-air-and-water/]source[/url]
