Capturing Truck Smoke Emissions And Converting It To A Liquid

Capturing CO2 from trucks and reducing their emissions by 90%. Researchers have patented a new concept that could cut trucks' CO2 emissions by almost 90%. It involves capturing CO2 within the exhaust system, converting it into a liquid and storing it on the vehicle. The liquid CO2 would then be delivered to a service station and where it will be turned back into fuel using renewable energy. Source 6g.

Will it only be viable on smaller short haul vehicles? Only testing will tell. Plus infrastructure has to be built, which takes time and investment.
