Like, *PING*, dudes.

Adapt this to auto tailpipes (if the catalytic converter doesn't take out the CO2 already) and the global warming crisis is, solved.

Cheers!

The catalytic converter is designed to create CO2 from corbon monoxide. Government is the culprit to blame for global warming.

My first question was... "What happens to the captured CO2?"

So I went to the link which in turn linked the researcher's technical paper.

The short answer to "where does the CO2 go" -- you have to PUT it somewhere (think geological formation), but if you do it right, it's a twofer! You can use it for enhanced oil and gas recovery techniques. From the paper:

"Although a typical destination of the captured CO2 is commonly envisioned to be some form of passive geologic storage or other storage type, this work is also motivated by a vision of utilizing the captured CO2 to displace valuable oil and coal-bed methane stranded in mature reservoirs, as illustrated in Figure 1, before storing it permanently in spent reservoirs. Such a CO2-driven displacement is referred to as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and enhanced coal-bed methane recovery (ECBMR)."

>>Adapt this to auto tailpipes (if the catalytic converter doesn’t take out the CO2 already)

It doesn’t.
