Carbon capture and utilization in the soil permanently. A carbon-neutral fuel can be synthesized by using the captured CO from the atmosphere as the main hydrocarbon source. The fuel is then combusted and CO, as the byproduct of the combustion process, is released back into the air. In this process, there is no net carbon dioxide released or removed from the atmosphere, hence the name carbon-neutral fuel. An example of the technology include biofuel from microalgae as discussed below. Methanol, or ethyl alcohol, is the simplest member of the family of alcohol organic compound with a chemical formula of CHOH. Methanol fuel can be
Chemical compound of atoms (chemical elements) in a fixed stoichiometric proportion can be termed a "chemical compound"; the concept is most readily understood when considering pure chemical substances. It follows from their being composed of fixed proportions of two or more types of atoms that chemical compounds can be converted, via chemical reaction, into compounds or substances each having fewer atoms. The ratio of each element in the compound is expressed in a ratio in its chemical formula. A chemical formula is a way of expressing information about the proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound, using the standard abbreviations
