Fuel can be made from air by first capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and then combining it with green hydrogen produced from water and renewable electricity. This synthesized carbon and hydrogen mixture is then converted into liquid fuels, such as gasoline or jet fuel, through further chemical processes.

 Fuel can be made from air by first capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and then combining it with green hydrogen produced from water and renewable electricity. This synthesized carbon and hydrogen mixture is then converted into liquid fuels, such as gasoline or jet fuel, through further chemical processes. 
This "Air-to-Fuels" technology aims to create low-carbon, drop-in compatible fuels that do not add new carbon to the atmosphere.  
The Air-to-Fuels process
Direct Air Capture (DAC):-
 The process begins with a Direct Air Capture system that captures carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. 
Green Hydrogen Production: -
Simultaneously, electrolyzers powered by renewable electricity split water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen. 
Fuel Synthesis:-
 The captured CO2 and the green hydrogen are then chemically combined under heat and pressure to form hydrocarbons, which are the building blocks of liquid fuels. 
The Resulting Fuels
Drop-in compatibility: -
The fuels produced are designed to be compatible with existing infrastructure and vehicles, meaning they can be used in current cars, planes, and diesel engines. 
Low-carbon intensity: -
These fuels significantly reduce the carbon footprint because the carbon they release when burned was previously captured from the atmosphere. 
Key Companies and Technologies
Carbon Engineering: -
This company developed the Air-to-Fuels technology, which is being used in facilities like the one operated by 1PointFive. 
Aircela: -
This startup has developed a machine that can produce gasoline from air and is preparing to manufacture these devices for commercial sale. 
University of Cambridge :-
Researchers: -
These researchers have developed a solar-powered reactor that uses sunlight to directly convert CO2 from the air into fuel.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
