Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a solar-powered reactor that directly captures carbon dioxide from the air and converts it into usable fuel using sunlight.

This innovative device eliminates the need for fossil-fuel-based carbon capture, mimicking photosynthesis to create syngas—a vital ingredient in fuel and pharmaceuticals. Researchers aim to scale this technology for liquid fuel production, offering a clean way to reduce CO₂ emissions while generating renewable energy.
