Removing CO2 from the atmosphere through technical methods, including carbon capture and underground storage (CCS) or increased use of plants to suck up CO2 come with a number of risks and uncertainties, and hence the interest of limiting them.
CO2 can be converted to alternate fuel by first reacting it with freshly prepared methyl magnesium bromide, CH3MgBr (Grignard's reagent) and then reducing the resultant product into Ethanol (C2H5OH) by using Sodium Borohydride (NaBH4) along with other electrophiles.
