> And that doesn't count the electricity required to refine/crack the gasoline from crude. If we can figure out how to extract atmospheric CO2 and convert it into hydrocarbons efficiently, crude oil won’t be bart of the equation any longer — our atmospheric carbon supply will be part of a closed loop. As a lay person, that’s an awfully appealing prospect. I wonder how many kWh it takes to pump, transport and process a gallon of gasoline when sources from crude.
