Carbon dioxide could already be in use right now to help make fuel by pumping it into exhausted oil wells and it wouldn't increase the price of fuel at all.
Turning CO2 into alcohol is likely still a long ways off.
If the oil well thing worked, which all experiments said it would it could have created a massive demand for very large scale CO2 capture.
But I guess we can wait 20, 50 or 100 more years.
