Fuel from CO<sub>2</sub>
A method has been developed that would help convert carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The process developed by the Osaka National Research Institute, Japan, involves reaction of CO2 with hydrogen in presence of a catalyst made from iron, zinc and a zeolite. Then CO2 and hydrogen are pressurised to 50 atmosphere and heated to a temperature of 350
