Gas prices are steadily rising to record prices, which is sad sad news for commuters like myself. As if taking two hours to get to work wasn’t bad enough, now I have to pay almost double as well?

The company behind it (LS9) claims the process is carbon-negative, which means the “carbon it emits will be less than that sucked from the atmosphere by the raw materials from which it is made”, and that barrels could run as low as $50!!

Sounds pretty amazing to me, read more about it HERE
