SANTA BARBARA, CA and CAMBRIDGE, UK--(Marketwire - September 24, 2008) - Carbon Sciences Inc.
(OTCBB : CABN ), the developer of a breakthrough technology to transform
harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into high value, earth-friendly products,
announced today that the company is developing a breakthrough technology to
transform CO2 into the basic fuel building blocks required to produce
gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other portable fuels.
"We are very excited about this breakthrough," stated Derek McLeish, the
company's CEO. "By innovating at the intersection of chemical engineering
and bio-engineering disciplines, we are developing a highly scalable
bio-catalytic process to meet the fuel needs of the world. With over 28
billion tons of CO2 emitted each year, there is an abundant supply of raw
material available to produce renewable and sustainable fuels for global
consumption."
Speaking in Cambridge at the First International Summit on Policy,
Technology and Investment, hosted by Cambridge University, Mr. McLeish
commented further, "Carbon Sciences has been working for some time on using
CO2 as the feedstock for production of high value products. Since the
world is highly dependent on the existing transportation and fuel delivery
infrastructure, we view fuel to be the ultimate high value product.
Automobiles, trucks, trains and planes powered by portable fuels are
crucial to our way of life. Other alternative fuel technologies, such as
fuel cells and hydrogen, require substantial infrastructure changes in
order to meet the energy and climate challenge."
Mr. McLeish provided further explanation, "Our solution is to enable a
sustainable world of fuel consumption and climate stability by transforming
CO2 into fuel. For example, Carbon Sciences' breakthrough technology can be
used to transform CO2 emitted from fossil fuel power plants into gasoline
to power our cars."
