Researchers from the University of California in Los Angeles found a way to create genetically modified bacteria called cyanobacterium, which consume carbon dioxide and produce the liquid fuel isobutanol, reported Science Daily.
The research originally published on Wednesday in the journal Nature of Biotechnology states that consumption of carbon dioxide is directly powered by the sun, a process similar to photosynthesis.
The new method has two major advantages: it recycles carbon dioxide which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and it uses solar energy to convert carbon dioxide to liquid fuel which can be used in automobiles.
