It will soon be possible to make Gasoline at home from electricity, water, and thin air.
AIRCELA.COM:
Aircela’s machine uses a water-based solution containing potassium hydroxide (KOH) to capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from ambient air. Air flows through a specially designed chamber where it contacts the liquid sorbent, efficiently capturing CO₂.
We use electrolysis — powered by renewable electricity — to split deionized water (H₂O) into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is kept for fuel synthesis; the oxygen is safely released. At the same time, the sorbent used in the capture step is regenerated for reuse, allowing the cycle to run continuously.
The captured CO₂ and hydrogen are combined to create methanol. That methanol is then converted into gasoline through a two-step catalytic process known as methanol-to-gasoline (MTG). The result is fossil-free, engine-ready gasoline — fully compatible with existing engines and infrastructure.
The pure water created by the conversion is then fed back into the system.
