Coal Produced from Atmospheric Carbon

It is rather amazing to see the ingenuity of scientists when it comes to extracting CO2 from the atmosphere. In an article in "nature communications" a team of scientists are writing about creating coal from CO2 at room temperature. Super cool (pun intended)! 




OK, so I prefer vodka to coal, but the science is fascinating.

Carbon negative vodka - brilliant. You can only buy it from their Bushwick factory to keep it carbon friendly. Understandable, but a bit of a shame.
