As I've explained, there are in effect many buyers and many sellers in CO2E pricing, even if there is a government - enforced standard of delivering equal share equitably to all sellers per capita as there are different carbon intensities of essentially the same energy: electricity need not be produced from fossil fuels, and where it is, the fossil fuels may be less carbon intensive natural gas, or enriched through geothermal or solar hydrotreating to become less carbon intensive, or the CO2 emissions can be directly sequestered or used in coproduction to reduce net influx of CO2.

So artificial photosynthesis, the holy grail of renewables, focuses not on absorbing carbon dioxide but on producing clean fuel directly from the sun.

I think you'd be much better off just drying and pelletizing the cellulosic material and using a syngas generator to produce carbon monoxide and then fuel your internal combustion engine directly from the CO which requires very little modification to the engine — about the same as the modifications required to run it from natural gas or propane.

Ozone is an odorless gas that is not directly emitted into the air but is created by chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC)-- which occur naturally but are also produced from the burning of fossil fuels and are released in the process of drilling for oil and natural gas.

Without uptake by other C reservoirs, doubling atmospheric CO2 via combustion of fossil fuels (in the proportions considered earlier) would directly produce 27.5 ZJ (873 TW * yr, or 8.73 TW for 100 years) of (primary) energy (based on the ratio found earlier — it can vary).

There is one problem with that: If we can make enough clean electricity (via solar or something else) to produce hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles, why not use that electricity directly in electric vehicles or plug - in hybrids with extremely long battery range, and an internal combustion engine that runs on biofuel for extended trips?
