"PETROL from AIR" technology developed by British Company

Air Fuel Synthesis, a British company in the northern England has developed a technology which can play important role in the battle against climate change and can be a savior for the world’s energy crisis.

The company has developed the “air capture” technology to create synthetic petrol using only air and electricity.

The technology, presented to a London engineering conference this week, removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The “petrol from air” technology involves taking sodium hydroxide and mixing it with carbon dioxide before "electrolyzing" the sodium carbonate that it produces to form pure carbon dioxide. Hydrogen is then produced by electrolyzing water vapor captured with a dehumidifier. Then the carbon dioxide and hydrogen is used to produce methanol which in turn is passed through a gasoline fuel reactor, creating petrol.

The fuel that is produced can be used in any regular petrol tank and, if renewable energy is used to provide the electricity it could become “completely carbon neutral”.

Malala sent to UK for treatment

Malala Yusufzai is sent to England for treatment. She was shot by the Taliban terrorists on 9th October when she was returning home from school with her two friends.

The army spokesman said that Malala's condition is stable even after removing bullet, so for further treatment she was sent to England. The spokesman said that many countries including the Pakistan have condemned the attack on Malala. Also he hope that Malala will soon return back her home land after recovering.

Malala came into spotlight first time when she refused to obey orders of the Taliban banning education of women and girls. She not only ignored the threats of terrorists by also started campaign for studies of girls. For this she was rewarded with first youth peace award by the then Prime Minister Yusuf Raza GILANI.
