Researchers from Monash University and Hokkaido University have developed a method that converts carbon dioxide into a diesel-range fuel.

 The method has the potential to produce a net-zero liquid fuel alternative to power cars more sustainably. 

When coupled with green hydrogen, the manufacturing method can ultimately provide net-zero liquid fuel. 

The project has received funding for further research into the industrialisation and scale-up of the process from an Indian petrol corporation.
