Carbon dioxide captured from air can be directly converted into methanol 
fuel

> (Phys.org)—For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that CO2
> captured from the air can be directly converted into methanol (CH3OH)
> using a homogenous catalyst. The benefits are two-fold: The process
> removes harmful CO2 from the atmosphere, and the methanol can be used
> as an alternative fuel to gasoline. The work represents an important
> step that could one day lead to a future "methanol economy," in which
> fuel and energy storage are primarily based on methanol.
