How can we deal with it? Reducing carbon emissions (
19、碳排放) is important. But what if we could capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and use it to do other things?Recently, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that his company is working on a new program. Its going to take CO2 out of the air and turn it into rocket fuel. It will not only be good for Earth,
20、 but “will also be important for Mars,” Musk tweeted. The air on Mars is made up of 95 percent CO2. If we could turn CO2 into fuel, we could travel the long journey from Mars back to Earth in the future.The idea may sound strange but its not totally crazy. There are already some technologies that mi
21、ght help with this. According to Di-Jia Liu, a chemist at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US, the carbon atoms (原子) in CO2 and the hydrogen (氢) atoms in water can be combined to make methane (甲烷) or ethanol (乙醇). They could be used as fuel. If we do this on Mars, energy from the sun might be
22、used as a catalyst (催化剂).The idea will also make space travel more eco-friendly. “If the CO2-based fuel could be used in a rocket launch, we could prevent 715 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the air,” said Stafford Sheehan from Air Company, a US company that focuses on CO2 capture technologies.(
