Japan's Panasonic claims to have developed a system that, with sunlight transforms CO2 into fuel.
CO2, aka carbon dioxide is a pollutant and a major contributor to the greenhouse effect.
According to the company, your system has 0.2% efficiency under laboratory conditions. According to Panasonic, the index is similar to real plants and more than any previous experiments conducted in the area.
The company also says that the system uses a nitride semiconductor to excite the electrons of CO2 until they turn into formic acid, used in dyes and perfumes.
The invention is already patented, but there are no predictions of release. However, Panasonic says it intends to deploy the technology in incinerators and factories, responsible for high emissions of CO2.
