It can also convert captured anthropogenic CO 2 , generated by burning fossil fuels, to CO and O 2 via high-temperature electrolysis. Solar heating can decrease the energy to drive a range of electrolysis processes. The STEP process occurs at solar energy conversion efficiency greater than attainable by photovoltaics alone.

Otherwise, fuel switching can produce net climate damages (more radiative forcing) for decades. since natural gas has relatively low carbon intensity, releasing less carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) per unit of usable energy than other fossil fuels, it is often assumed that switching to natural gas is comparatively beneficial for the climate.
