Compact machine turns air into ready-to-use gasoline
New direct air capture technology that promises to advance clean fuel production is based to a significant extent on the work of Klaus Lackner, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and founding Center for Negative Carbon Emissions. Developed by the Aircela company, the system produces engine-ready gasoline using only air and water in a process powered by renewable electricity and advanced chemical processes. The technology works with current engines and fueling systems, without need for costly upgrades. In addition, the fuel’s purity, free from sulfur and additives, helps lower harmful emissions other than only carbon dioxide.
