The LANL report is a proposal to use combustion products (water and carbon dioxide are both combustion products, not sources of chemical energy) as feedstock for synthesizing a liquid that conveniently stores some of the energy produced by the nuclear power source.

Due to the high cost of capturing, transporting, and sequestering carbon dioxide, EPA expects that any new coal fired power plants built in the foreseeable future will defray the costs of CCS by selling its carbon dioxide to oil companies, which can use the gas to help extract oil by displacing liquid fuels deep underground, in a process known as CO2 enhanced oil recovery (or CO2 - EOR).

JCAP researchers are focused on achieving the major scientific breakthroughs needed to produce liquid transportation fuels from a combination of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, using artificial photosynthesis.
