Air Company, a start-up based in Brooklyn, New York, is using captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) to produce fossil-free liquid fuel. The company's process involves using a metal catalyst to react hydrogen and CO₂, resulting in the production of liquid fuel. This process is simpler and more energy efficient than traditional methods, according to the company. While some experts are skeptical about the energy efficiency claims, they acknowledge that the process could have the advantage of simplicity, making it easier to produce fuel from CO₂.

Microsoft's offering something new, something different, and something that -- for the moment, at least -- has an obvious practical impact that Google's search product can't match. The idea of a more "premium" search experience always sounded appealing to me, and I'm 100% in favor of paying for worthwhile services -- but all philosophical waxing aside, I just never found much meaningful value in what Neeva offered over what I was already getting from Google.
