Global Demand for Fuel
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, low cost fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, have powered humanity into a new era of advanced technology and modern life. Today, industrialization has reached a global scale, consuming more fossil fuel than ever before. Demand for these depleting resources has driven the price of energy to record high levels, and in the process, released billions of tons of CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This dual crisis of energy and climate threatens our way of life and the security of nations. Solving this challenge is one of the most pressing needs of our time.

Replacing Petroleum
Carbon Sciences is developing a breakthrough CO2 based gas-to-liquids technology to transform greenhouse gases into liquid portable fuels, such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Innovating at the forefront of chemical engineering, we are developing highly scalable clean-tech processes to produce liquid fuels from naturally occurring or human-made greenhouse gas emissions. From sources such as natural gas fields, refinery flare gas, landfill gas, municipal waste, algae and other biomass, there is an abundant supply of inexpensive feedstock available to produce large and sustainable quantities of liquid fuel to replace petroleum for global consumption, thereby eliminating our dependence on petroleum.

For Existing Infrastructure
The world is highly dependent on the existing transportation and fuel delivery infrastructure. Automobiles, trucks, trains, ships and planes powered by portable liquid fuels are crucial to our way of life. Alternative technologies such as biofuels, fuel cells, hydrogen and electric batteries, require substantial infrastructure changes in order to meet the energy and climate challenge. These changes are decades away and the costs are enormous. Our solution enables a sustainable world of fuel consumption and climate stability by transforming CO2 and other greenhouse gases into liquid fuel, such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, for immediate use in our existing transportation and fuel delivery infrastructure.
