The ability to create gasoline from air, cost competitively with fossil fuels, is a game changer. Replacing all fuels made from oil and gas with zero-net-carbon fuels could reduce approximately 25% of global carbon emissions, making this one of the largest levers that modern society has in the fight against climate change.
