We have, over the long course of our reportage, made numerous reports of, and made numerous references to, the extraordinary body of Carbon Dioxide recycling technology and science that has been established at the University of Southern California, by their resident Nobel Laureate, George Olah, and his colleagues.
Some examples, in no particular order, include:
West Virginia Coal Association | California Patents CO2 Recycling | Research & Development; concerning: "United States Patent 7,608,743 - Efficient and selective chemical recycling of carbon dioxide to methanol, dimethyl ether and derived products; October 27, 2009; George Olah and G.K. Surya Prakash; Assignee: University of Southern California; Abstract: An efficient and environmentally beneficial method of recycling and producing methanol from varied sources of carbon dioxide including flue gases of fossil fuel burning powerplants, industrial exhaust gases or the atmosphere itself. Converting carbon dioxide by chemical or electrochemical reduction secondary treatment to produce essentially methanol, dimethyl ether and derived products";
