Fischer–Tropsch process

The Fischer–Tropsch process is a way of turning gases like carbon dioxide and water into a special kind of liquid called synthetic fuel. It's a chemical process that starts with something like burning a candle, but with special equipment called a reactor. The reactor starts off with heat and special chemicals that are added and at the end produces liquid fuel. It can be used to make diesel and other types of fuel that can be used to power cars and other machines.
