So, if this new chemical reaction can successfully turn CO2 into fuel for airplanes it could help reduce the carbon footprint of the aviation industry, which currently accounts for 12 percent of all global transportation carbon emissions. It is noted that researchers have tried to turn CO2 into fuel in the past but that the chemical reactions that emerged from these efforts required…
