Benefits of technology

[0013]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 CO2 and H20 by “artificial photosynthesis”, as defined herein and methods of operation thereof.

Problems solved by technology

Wherefore, these considerations may impose constraints upon the combustion chamber design under the corresponding embodiment hereof, as well as upon the separation process.
However, none have provided the free selection of carbonaceous fuels to be produced efficiently and in a substantial capacity.

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.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates generally 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.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The current state of affairs regarding Carbon Dioxide and its close relationship to global warming has reached an all time high. Many responsible sources contend that the condition of the earth's atmosphere is such that, in order to avoid the predicted dire consequences of global warming affects, removal of a portion of the existing, and increased, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (in a preferred amount approximating one billion tons annually for about a decade) is needed.[0003]The methods of the present invention meet these drastic requirements and also further provide a substantial environmental benefit in which the inventive processes hereof would require no addition...
