Abstract
The present invention relates generally to reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide and to fuel production, and more specifically, to carbonaceous fuel production by means of utilization of atmospheric carbon dioxide and water by “artificial photosynthesis”, as defined herein and methods of operation thereof.
Claims15
A method for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and for producing carbonaceous fuel, said method comprising the steps of:
- within a first sub-process, producing carbonaceous fuel from air through the utilization of rapid oxidation of a metal;
- within a second sub-process, recovering the elemental metal from the metal oxide.
