Can CO2 be contained and transformed into energy? isn't there a group already working on something similiar?

Question

thank you!

Answer 1

I do believe you are wrong. If you shall take energy out of it you must take nuclear processes in use. Splitting is done by the flowers and the trees. My be we will learn that proses. But this proses is working anyhow. Plant a tree!

Answer 2

yep. PLANTS and CO2 is produced by HUMANS BREATHING. so stop breathing or you will single handedly destroy this earth..aaaahhh

Answer 3

yes they are called "plants." also known as trees. kidding but true. but yes there are several companies working on that technology and there are also others that are trying to make some kind of containment devices for it.

Answer 4

You might be thinking of the "World's Cleanest Car" that runs on compressed air.

"Most importantly, it is incredibly cost-efficient to run – according to the designers, it costs less than one Euro per 100Km (about a tenth that of a petrol car). Its mileage is about double that of the most advanced electric car (200 to 300 km or 10 hours of driving), a factor which makes a perfect choice in cities where the 80% of motorists drive at less than 60Km. The car has a top speed of 68 mph.

Refilling the car will, once the market develops, take place at adapted petrol stations to administer compressed air. In two or three minutes, and at a cost of approximately 1.5 Euros, the car will be ready to go another 200-300 kilometres.

As a viable alternative, the car carries a small compressor which can be connected to the mains (220V or 380V) and refill the tank in 3-4 hours.

Due to the absence of combustion and, consequently, of residues, changing the oil (1 litre of vegetable oil) is necessary only every 50,000 Km.

The temperature of the clean air expelled by the exhaust pipe is between 0 - 15 degrees below zero, which makes it suitable for use by the internal air conditioning system with no need for gases or loss of power."

Answer 5

Yes, chlorophylls.
