The plant is in the final design stage now, but the small scale testing system is producing about 2L a day last time i heard.
Now they are looking into using CO2 emissions from the aluminum plant close by also.
Think about it this way.
A country emits 100 (things)of CO2 from industry and 100 (things) of CO2 privately, cars, homes etc.
Lets say that you could use 25% of industry CO2 to make methanol for cars. you have cut the total CO2 emitions by 25%.
Personally i think if you try reusing CO2 the total effect is grater that biological possibility, biodisel and ethanol, that will end up costing more energy in the long run than reusing energy already in use or not possible to get rid of like CO2 from a geothermal power plant..
What do you guys think
