Study suggests that decarbonizing US transport sector by converting waste CO2 to fuels would require economical air-capture of CO2

Green Car Congress

Over time, however, as the CO 2 price increases, it eventually becomes more economical to either retrofit plants to capture and store most of. This raises the unusual possibility of the transportation sector becoming decarbonized before. emissions. their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%) natural gas, nuclear energy, renewable energy, etc.).In
