Carbon-based fuel could be the promising solution in prevent global warming

Carbon dioxide resulted from machinery creates global warming in the Earth

When global warming happens to our planet, many people including scientists have been trying to reduce any activities that related to the production of carbon dioxide. As we know, the Earth is becoming warmer because the Solar radiation cannot be bounced back by carbon dioxide. As a result, the energy that is emitted from the solar radiation is kept so it increases the temperature.

One of the best solution is by capturing the carbon dioxide which is considered as the main reason in keeping the temperature inside the Earth. The process of capturing carbon dioxide is by increasing the numbers of living organisms who are able to perform photosynthesis. Mostly, this photoautotrophic living organisms are the plants and green algae. They could capture and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide which is very dangerous for the planet. However, the main reason of increasing numbers of carbon dioxide is not merely biological waste of metabolism, but also perfect combustion occurred on the machinery.

Since the revolution industry in the United Kingdom, the development of machinery has been improving day after day. Currently, the demands of machinery has been influencing the needs of human everyday. For instance, aspect of transportation and electricity are the examples of this machinery aspect. The utilization of vehicles either in transporting goods or people require tonnes of fossil fuels and the result created by the use of vehicles is the increasing numbers of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the demands for electricity is also increasing at the same time for the development of technology in the field of electronic devices.

Although we can capture the carbon dioxide caused by the transportation sector, our next issue is located on the sector of electricity. Currently, many countries including several developed countries depend on the power plant powered by fossil fuels. The solar-powered electric plants have not been yet optimized, while the hydro and solar -powered power plants require several requirements. Therefore, our solution is one which is creating sustainable development.

Fortunately, Chemists from Caltech which is also the director of the Resnick Sustainability Institute were able to perform carbon conversion method. I beg your pardon? What can be converted from this carbon? The answer is fuel. This solution could become the state-of-the-art technology because it produces fuel that is fabricated from carbon dioxide and this is not made from derivation of coal or oil.

The decision of choosing fuels from carbon dioxide because its properties. Fuel containing multiple carbon atom are effective because its phase is liquid which have volatility and flammability. The advantages from these two properties are the liquid is able to perform perfect combustion in form of gas. Therefore, efficiency in producing heat energy which can be used to run the piston in the machinery.

The study also can answer the global climate change because of the needs of carbon dioxide as the base of the fuel. So, while decreasing the amount of greenhouse gas, the fuel is created. This could reduce the global warming from carbon dioxide.
