(PhysOrg.com) -- Rather than releasing carbon dioxide into the air, it can be used to produce methanol which is an excellent fuel for cars and airplanes using solar energy. The technology already exists, and a major Nordic research initiative has now been launched that will make the process inexpensive and simple enough to be used on a large scale. Chalmers is heading the initiative.
