25% of CO2 Emission From Coal Can Produce 30% of World Liquid Fuel Supply
Based on a projected industrial scale CO2 to fuel conversion efficiency range of 40% to 80%, Carbon Sciences believes its breakthrough CO2-to-Fuel technology can provide a significant portion of the world's liquid fuel supply. Recycling CO2 emissions into renewable liquid fuels can directly and immediately reduce the demand for liquid petroleum fuels.
Fuels produced with CO2-to-Fuel technology are essentially carbon neutral and do not contribute to global warming. In fact, their use mitigates CO2 that would have been emitted if petroleum was used. Unlike biofuels, such as cellulosic ethanol or biodiesel, fuels from CO2-to-Fuel technology are identical to that of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel and can be used as a direct replacement without new refineries, delivery infrastructures, or engine modifications.
The following interactive calculator estimates the amount of liquid fuels CO2-to-Fuel technology can produce based on the amount of global CO2 emission available in 2030.
Based on a scenario of using 25% of coal-related CO2 emissions, or approximately 40% of coal-fired power plants worldwide, at a 70% CO2-to-Fuel conversion efficiency, our technology can produce nearly 30% of the world's liquid fuel supply and mitigate 11% of the world's CO2 emissions. (2)
