> CO2 to methanol is energetically uphill. This is going to take energy to do. A lot of energy. What if we use "free" solar energy for this. This could also be a carbon sequestration technique. It might not make sense now, but 20 years down the line - when most power generation is green except jet fuels, ships and reserve gasoline to electric generators. Bottomline, it could accelerate the shuttering down of oil wells 20 years from now.
