The: 'Make Your Own Gasoline' from CO2+H2 from water electrolysis

Your 'Near future or not!' News! :


Make Your Own Gasoline' from captured CO2: Fine. Carbon neutral and all that.

H2 from water electrolysis: NOT fine. Even with Solar, as Solar's not free is it and electrolysis is not efficient.



95 percent efficient electrolysis (in industrial systems) using capillary action.

50 Bar/200 Degrees in an open loop doesn't come for free. $15-20,000 up front.

This might work for remote locations where shipping in the fuel adds costs.

Good point! Like solar; not free; upfront costs.

Hmmm... this might be an alternative to batteries.
ie: make fuel rather than store the energy in batteries, or waste it.
