If this discovery was really a thing you can bet it!
I am concerned about the growing mountain of miracle devices that are meant to solve climate change, and the environmental effects said mountain is having on climate change.
Don't see how using the carbon again as fuel solves anything.
If you recycle existing carbon from the atmosphere then you're not adding more carbon. So, in that sense it's better.
So they expect home users to handle liquid potassium or sodium formate? Isn't that quite hazardous?
Well, yes and no. Most likely its adoption would be where petroleum stations start creating it on site and selling like a carbon neutral gasoline. Energy has to come from somewhere, so it will probably take solar power to store as fomate and sell as fuel
