In a decade-old file maintained by our own US Government in one of their libraries, Korea, again, in confirmation of earlier reports concerning the same, or similar, technology from that nation we have brought to your attention, confirms that, in an efficient and relatively straightforward process, using reactions that have been known for more than a century, Carbon Dioxide can be converted into the liquid fuel, Methanol.
Comment follows the briefest of excerpts from:
"CAMERE Process for Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation to form Methanol
Date: August, 2000
Author: Oh-Shim-Joo; Korea Institute of Science and Technology
Abstract: Catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 has been one of the major approaches to diminish the greenhouse gas because large amounts of CO2 can be converted to resources such as methanol ... .
In the CAMERE process, carbon dioxide is converted to CO and H2O by the reverse-water-gas-shift reaction (and the) produced gas ... is fed to a methanol reactor.
With the gas feeding of CO/CO2/H2, the water produced in the methanol reactor (serves to increase) carbon oxide (CO2 + CO) conversion to methanol."
