The hydrogen is then combined with carbon captured from the air or industrial sources to synthesize methanol, which in turn can then be converted into longer hydrocarbons to be used as fuel. The synthetic e-fuel is a direct drop-in for pump gasoline

Seems like it will be close to carbon neutral, or perhaps even carbon negative if you factor in the offsetting amount of fossil fuel no longer needed to be extracted and combusted for the energy.

it's using the three R's.
