Geely invests in Carbon Recycling Intl.; vehicles fueled by methanol from CO2, water and renewable energy

Green Car Congress

CRI, founded in 2006 in Reykjavik, Iceland, is developing technology to produce renewable methanol from clean energy and recycled CO 2 emissions. CSI says this is the world’s first production of a liquid renewable transport fuel from non-biological sources of energy. These strategies are closely linked to the economy.
