We had earlier referenced the work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which focused on extracting CO2 from the atmosphere itself, and here is a link to one of their own releases on the subject.
We have highlighted, in the excerpt below, a very important passage that reinforces what we have earlier documented: Once you have the CO2, you can hydrogenate it, with Hydrogen extracted from water, to make more liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
As follows:
"LOS ALAMOS, N.M., April 9, 2002 -- Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory are studying a simple, cost effective method for extracting carbon dioxide directly from the air — which could allow sustained use of fossil fuels while avoiding potential global climate change.
The method would allow researchers to harvest carbon dioxide from the air, reducing buildup of the so-called "greenhouse gas" in the atmosphere and allowing it to be converted into fuel. A Los Alamos-led research team today presented the topic at the 223rd annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Orlando, Fla."
