The most exciting company here to me is Prometheus, who is mentioned in several threads here.

It bugs me though, that the TC blurb, and the comments here, and the Prometheus website, all say the company is turning CO2 into gasoline. That strikes me as alchemy. I think the company is more likely using CO2 in a separation process that is an alternative to the traditional distillation tower used in oil refineries.

There's a difference between "turning CO2 into gasoline" and "using CO2 to refine gasoline from crude oil".
