Nano-spike catalysts convert carbon dioxide directly into ethanol

“We’re taking carbon dioxide, a waste product of combustion, and we’re pushing that combustion reaction backwards with very high selectivity to a useful fuel,” Rondinone said. “Ethanol was a surprise – it’s extremely difficult to go straight from carbon dioxide to ethanol with a single catalyst.”

In light of all the ethanol cons and controversy, as well as "climate change" and worries over carbon, I thought it may be of some importance to shed light on this.This technology would also free up our farmers and farm land to maybe, I dunno, grow some food?
