Recycling of CO(2) into methanol, dimethyl ether (DME), and derived fuels and materials is a feasible approach to address our carbon conundrum. It would free humankind from its dependence on fossil fuel while at the same time help mitigate the problems associated with excessive CO(2) emission. The energy needed for this carbon cycle can come from renewable sources (hydro, solar, wind) as well as atomic energy.
将 CO(2) 回收再利用为甲醇、二甲醚（DME）以及衍生燃料和材料，是解决我们碳问题的一种可行方法。这将使人类摆脱对化石燃料的依赖，同时有助于缓解与过量 CO(2) 排放相关的问题。这个碳循环所需的能源可以来自可再生能源（水力、太阳能、风能）以及核能。
