Comments on: Scientists Make Fuel from CO2 Emissions and Sunlight http://gas2.org/2009/11/26/scientists-make-fuel-from-co2-emissions-and-sunlight/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

The iron oxide is the catalyst with heat that drives the CO2 and water to reduce to CO and H that can then be further processed. The iron oxide isn't depleted in the process. It would be quite silly to burn any metal as a way to get the CO2 to give back any oxygen since the metal itself already has been through an energy intense refining process. @mrcommenter
