New technologies can convert CO₂ into fuel, but what impact will they have on water resources?

In the race to combat climate change, scientists are developing technologies to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable fuels and chemicals. These innovations help curb greenhouse gases while providing a low-carbon fuel to power our future. As the U.S. shifts to a low-carbon economy, we need environmentally friendly fuels to power vehicles that are hard to electrify, like planes, ships and trains. Scientists are developing technology to convert CO2 to fuel. However, this conversion requires a lot of energy and water.
