Fw: Solar Panels for converting CO2 to fuel

(Via Princeton University and Engadget)

Imagine this: converting excess CO2 responsible for global warming into something useful, such as formic acid... Formic acid is used to de-ice planes and might also be used for energy storage in fuel cells. Princeton researchers engineered a process that converts CO2 and water into formic acid, with a 2% efficiency. It's basically an improved imitation of photosynthesis!
