GBL, ICT Mumbai Pilot Plant Converts CO2 to Clean Fuel Alternative

GBL, ICT Mumbai Pilot Plant Converts CO2 to Clean Fuel Alternative

Imagine we have a lot of extra carbon dioxide, which isn't good for our planet.

A company called GBL and a school called ICT Mumbai have built a small factory, like a test kitchen, to turn this carbon dioxide into a new kind of clean fuel.

This fuel is called DME and can be used instead of cooking gas or diesel without changing our stoves or trucks.

This special process is the first of its kind in the world, taking carbon dioxide and mixing it with hydrogen to make DME all in one go.

The factory will run for a few months to see how well it works.

This could help us use up the extra carbon dioxide and make cleaner energy, helping our planet stay healthy.

The companies are hoping this new way of making fuel will be ready to be used more widely in a couple of years.
