But rather than searching for ways to stretch the oil we still have — like a modern Hanukkah — it makes more sense to accelerate development of clean alternatives such as electric cars or biofuels from algae — and avoid dirty ones like turning coal or tar sands to liquid fuels.

For instance, carbon dioxide enables energy storage by reacting with hydrogen gas — called the hydrogenation process — transforming the mixture into higher energy liquid compounds such as methanol that can be easily transported and used as fuel for caFor instance, carbon dioxide enables energy storage by reacting with hydrogen gas — called the hydrogenation process — transforming the mixture into higher energy liquid compounds such as methanol that can be easily transported and used as fuel for cafor cars.

The researchers say the idea has merit because jets will continue to fly by burning liquid fuel for many years to come, and automobiles — barring big advances in batteries — will also need a liquid fill - up well past the point where the world has a billion cars.
