New Scientist has an article on a project to make jet fuel from sea water, using the dissolved CO2 and electrolyzed hydrogen. Here is an excerpt from the close: “The idea of using CO2 as a carbon source is appealing,” says Philip Jessop, a chemist at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. But to make a jet fuel that is properly “green”, the energy-intensive electrolysis that produces the hydrogen will need to use a carbon-neutral energy source; and the complex multi-step process
