particulates levels close to 0 really. professor eichner and his team are investigating the optimal mix is it possible to reduce c o 2 by 70 to 90 percent with synthetic fuels there's still a lot to be done to introduce them but don't expect to be gassing up with professor agnes synthetic fuels anytime soon researchers reckon that those fuels will be used primarily in ships airplanes and trucks. and that's it for me and the business team for have more business news and analysis go to websites to w dot com slash. don't go away.
