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
Carbon capture and storage in Australia could meet its storage commitments given the delays. WWF claims that the Gorgon geosequestration project is potentially unsafe as the area has over 700 wells drilled in the area, 50 of which reach the area proposed for geosequestration of . Fault lines compound the problems. Barrow Island is also an A class nature reserve of global importance. In April 2018, the federal and Victorian governments announced a brown coal-to-hydrogen project that would operate out of AGL Energy's Loy Yang A power station. Construction is expected to begin in 2019, and hydrogen production by 2020 or 2021. The pilot program will
