News: GREEN DRIVE CAR 'fuel' from CO2

Soon, vehicles to run on 'fuel' from CO2 London: Scientists are inching closer toproduce a new fuel from carbon dioxide and sunlight which they claim will help meet world's energy needs and minimice carbon emissions.         A team at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico,is developing the technique which will produce "synthetic liquid fuels" in solar-powered reactors. Experiments have also shown that the reactors can absorb carboin dioxide (CO2) and turn it into carbon monoxide. The same reactors can also be used to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen.        The two can then be reacted together with a catalyst to form hydrocarbon fuels. Researchers say fuels made in this way are sufficiently similar to those currently used in cars.
