British Company Extracts Fuel from Air
Lots of electricity is required, but it seems promising
Revolutionary new technology that produces "petrol from air" is being produced by a British firm, it emerged tonight.
A small company in the north of England has developed the "air capture" technology to create synthetic petrol using only air and electricity.
Experts tonight hailed the astonishing breakthrough as a potential "game-changer" in the battle against climate change and a saviour for the world's energy crisis.
The technology, presented to a London engineering conference this week, removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
