Method of producing liquid fuel blend using a carbon reducing process

A method of producing a liquid fuel blend for use in conventional combustion engines, the liquid fuel blend comprising methanol, an alcohol, and a fossil fuel,

• wherein the methanol is produced in an atmospheric carbon dioxide reducing process that is autonomously powered by at least one renewable energy source,
• the carbon dioxide reducing process including the following steps:
• producing oxygen in an electrolysis unit which intakes water via at least one water supply line and breaks down the water into an oxygen quantity and a hydrogen quantity;
• conveying a first portion of the hydrogen quantity from the electrolysis unit to a carbonization unit and a second portion of the hydrogen quantity to a methanol synthesis unit;
• scrubbing of ambient air in at least one carbon dioxide sorption unit, the carbon dioxide sorption unit receiving the ambient air via at least one air inlet and extracting a carbon dioxide quantity from the ambient air in at least one downstream sorber device;
• conveying a first portion of the carbon dioxide quantity to the carbonization unit and a second portion of the carbon dioxide quantity to the methanol synthesis unit;
• producing carbon in the carbonization unit by methane synthesis and methane splitting, wherein the methane splitting is by Kvaerner processing and/or methane pyrolysis, and transporting the carbon to a long-term carbon storage, and
• combining the second portion of the hydrogen quantity and the second portion of the carbon dioxide quantity in the methanol synthesis unit to produce the methanol,
• wherein the methanol is mixed with the alcohol and the fossil fuel in a ratio such that the liquid fuel blend contains 50% to 80% by volume of the fossil fuel, 5% to 20% by volume of the alcohol, and 10% to 30% by volume of the methanol, and
• wherein the at least one renewable energy source is at least one photovoltaic unit for converting solar energy into power, the photovoltaic unit being located in a region having a global horizontal solar irradiation per year of at least 1.500 kWh/m2.
