## *With one blow two and more flies - it's called a job ..*

A Canadian company Carbon Engineering owned by several investors, including Bil Gates (congratulations to everyone for a good job) managed to make a revolutionary job:

After Further, it can be used as ordinary CO2 in a pressure vessel or as a feedstock for the production of liquid fuels (gasoline, diesel or Jet - A). So far the problem was in price: $ 600 per ton for removing CO2 from the atmosphere using DAC technology, it was too expensive to be a viable solution for removing the inherited carbon on the ladder, "said David Keith, Harvard professor and founder of Carbon Energy. "Now we have data and engineering to prove that DAC can achieve costs below $ 100 per tonne." Our DAC technology has been proven and is now being scaled up into commercial markets. Individual DAC facilities can be built to capture one million tons of CO₂ per year each, which is equivalent to the annual emissions of 250,000 average cars. Now the door is open. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS3N2JLHGqkTPfWSkzmDrTqjBaNhyp6FmfpW7tGssJdy3/image.png [source](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS3N2JLHGqkTPfWSkzmDrTqjBaNhyp6FmfpW7tGssJdy3/image.png) AIR TO FUELS™ technology combines our Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology with water electrolysis and fuels synthesis to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels. This process combines several quickly-evolving technologies, and has three major steps. ### *First, our DAC process captures and purifies CO₂ from atmospheric air.* At CE, we have been developing our Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology since 2009. We have 8 core patent families, and we have proven the technology with a full end-to-end pilot plant. We have built our DAC technology upon established chemical processing industry equipment and techniques, augmented by our own innovations and IP throughout. Our DAC system has four major unit operations that comprise a closed chemical loop, which continuously captures CO₂ from atmospheric air, and delivers a purified compressed stream of CO₂, using only water and electroenergy as inputs. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma16dGLFCZzLhLFVnMpHC3Wvp9dUa3HHKvF3scwgCBGre/image.png [source](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma16dGLFCZzLhLFVnMpHC3Wvp9dUa3HHKvF3scwgCBGre/image.png)

### *Second, clean electricity (such as solar PV) is used to electrolyze water and generate hydrogen.* https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRX8SToKdwBSdxWCFS26efAwWbWrKj9w7XEpdUZ7dYoT7/image.png [source](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRX8SToKdwBSdxWCFS26efAwWbWrKj9w7XEpdUZ7dYoT7/image.png)

### *Third, the CO₂ and hydrogen are thermo-catalytically reacted to produce syngas, and reacted again to produce hydrocarbons.*

In principle, a wide variety of hydrocarbons can be generated, but our focus is predominantly on diesel and jet fuel- says in Carbon Engineerings. Also, AIR TO FUELS ™ fuels are more fuel-efficient than fossil fuels, without sulfur and low particles, which not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also air pollution. CE’s engineering work, with data from leading Electrolyzer and Fuel Synthesis developers, shows that AIR TO FUELS™ technology can produce fuels for less than $1.00 /L once scaled up. ### *How many flies?* https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/03/DL_407FruitFlies_TOSS_720.gif [source](https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2017/03/DL_407FruitFlies_TOSS_720.gif)

- Removal of surplus CO2 - rehabilitation of climate change. - Fuel production is cleaner than fossil fuels. - The use of clean (eco) energy in the technologies of cleaning the atmosphere (sun, wind). - It does not use large areas of land as with biofuel production. - Less future pollution of the atmosphere - because fuel is very clean.

### *And for the End?*

All this looks great.And good for humans.And future. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/f4/68/68/f46868f1d23469e6957c8bd75ab0f799.gif [source](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/f4/68/68/f46868f1d23469e6957c8bd75ab0f799.gif) I am interested in how will the traditional oil companies react set up in this eventual development of this technology. And thei friends from politics and other "no-formals"structures... Will it be fair play?
