It can be synthesized from air and water with energy and the right catalysts, although the process isn’t cheap. However if solar power keeps getting cheaper it might become feasible to produce it this way instead of drilling.
This is an incredible, and wildly under discussed win.
As soon as solar energy is being used at scale, this will probably become way more commonly used - big electricity expense is the only main cost.
Carbon capture is the other main input…hmmm.
They’re melting.
