Siemens is participating in a research project that is looking at ways to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemical feedstock. It may even be possible to permanently remove the gas, which would be separated out during the combustion of fossil fuels, from the atmosphere and so weaken the impact of the greenhouse effect. The energy required to convert the relatively unreactive CO2 is to be obtained from renewable resources.
