This process uses two catalysts instead of one, converting CO2 into C8H18. Addition
of a NaCl catalyst to a Ni catalyst improves the efficiency of Fischer's process
because the salt catalyst retains humidity. Furthermore, chlorine opens chemical
chains and sodium prevents crystals of oxygen from covering the Ni catalyst. If
we are equipped to produce CO2 from biogas or smoke, we can recycle this CO2 and
yield a useful liquid. In fact, recycling CO2 into a synthetic crude hydrocarbon,
octane, contributes to clean air and to produce a valuable source of energy. Because
CO2 is a renewable resource, this process favors a lasting economic development.
