At a time when the world is grappling with oil crisis due to the Middle East conflict, a Chinese startup Carbonology has announced a big breakthrough and claimed that it can make fuel from air and water. The company co-founded by former Tesla Vice President has claimed to develop a method to capture carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into petrol, diesel, jet fuel, and other products. The process uses solar and wind energy, making it a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
