Making hydrocarbons out of CO 2 must overcome two challenges—chemical stability of the CO 2 molecule and a cheap and renewable hydrogen source. The main products produced by the new catalyst cover the gasoline (C 5 -C 11 ) and diesel (C 12 -C 21 ) ranges, while waxy hydrocarbons (C 25+ ) are ∼15 wt%. Source: Choi et al.

And oil only seems cheap. If we can again succeed like that, in a decade, we’ll look back and know that we got a great deal: safer, healthier, better lives, an economy no longer held hostage to petro-dictatorships and blindered, monopolistic companies, and a significant response to climate change.
