Since 2005, when major greenhouse-gas emitters among the Kyoto signatories were issued caps on their emissions and permitted to buy credits to meet those caps, there has been more than $300 billion worth of carbon transactions. The approval process for carbon offsets has two goals. THE APPROVAL PROCESS.

Proponents claim that if renewable electricity is used and CO 2 is captured from the air, then the e-gasoline and e-diesel are climate-neutral fuels that will also reduce pollution. The ethanol and e-fuel would separate out similarly to oil and water. Carbon monoxide emissions were much higher with the e-gasoline blends tested.
