3. the article says that. What they are thinking of is using power from wind and solar sources to take
CO2 out of the atmosphere and make methanol and other chemicals from it. Any CO2 released in combustion of the methanol is returning CO2 to the atmosphere that was previously removed ...unlike fossil fuels the combustion of which adds CO2 to the atmosphere. so at least they are not adding to the CO2.
"The chemistry we're doing is energetically uphill -- it's an energy-storing process rather than a downhill, energy-liberating process," he notes. "And our goal is to make liquid fuel renewably from wind and solar sources, not from typical fossil fuel bases."
