Recycling CO2


Using Biocatalysis, a procedure used by employing natural catalysts to perform chemical transformations on organic compounds, a group of scientists have made a breakthrough which they believe can transform CO2 back into the basic building blocks of fuel. This process, commonly utilized by the pharmaceutical industry to create fine chemicals from man made organic material, has apparently, effectively transformed CO2 into methane, propane and Ethane, all which can be used to make higher grade fuels.
The organization is called Carbon Sciences.
