This scenario assumes a full global consensus for action on climate change. G20 countries build a generous Green Climate Fund, well above the $100-billion-a-year goal in the Paris climate agreement. The result is a win–win for climate and security. Big green deal. ?This Geopolitical friction is low.

We are the first to use both light and heat to synthesize liquid hydrocarbons in a single stage reactor from carbon dioxide and water. The process uses cheap and earth-abundant catalytic materials. Hydrogen, carbon monoxide, C 1 hydrocarbons, and syngas are the most commonly produced fuels and are derived from water or water and CO 2.
