I'm not sure if this is the right forum but it does fall under general efficiency of research direction(?).
Famed geneticist creating life form that turns CO2 to fuel | Signtific
This is the fire-carrier article. Essentially the idea is to modify certain deep sea bacteria that convert various volcanic gasses, including CO2, into other things like methane.
What they are hoping is to produce life forms that can do it much faster, or are just hungrier.
My pitch is
not that hyrbids are a bad investment because either way if they increase the FE of gasoline cars then they will still do that but their dent in CO2 production won't really matter.
My pitch is this is why several of the large car firms are scaling back research or emphasis on EV and alternatives.
possible, impossible, opinions, comments?
Obviously the bacteria can't consume 100% of the CO2 but certain forms of algae have already demonstrated an ability to consume 80% that is produced by a coal plant, and these designer life forms seem to have the conversion down pat for survival on the ocean floor. . .
