The researchers are working on porous materials that absorb CO2 and turn it into chemicals that can make either car fuel or plastics. Details are sketchy, but Dr. David Fermin from the University of Bristol explains, “By combining clever material design with heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis and biocatalysis, we aim at developing an effective carbon neutral technology.”

Hairbrained- Only about 0.3% or so of air is carbon dioxide and we need that little bit. The catalyst materials are bound to be non-renewable. Hasn't GW been discredited enough?

However, this does not necessarily mean that this particular scientist has accomplished what he claims to have accomplished.

Recently researchers at the University of the West of England revealed another promising solution — they’re developing a process that transforms CO2 emissions into fuel.
The link does not state his findings have been subjected to the rigors of peer review.
Furthermore, even if this scientist's findings are valid, we may be decades away from his findings being practically applied.
