A. Yes, if it is manufactured using our process. Carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere; hydrogen is produced from water and renewable electricity. Likewise, all other energy requirements in our process are met by renewable electricity; wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, even nuclear. When the methanol is burned, CO2 is released back to the atmosphere, thus completing the carbon cycle.
