@bjjkickboxing7876 - honestly, I am less concerned about theories, like some YouTube publishers are.
Hydrocarbons are located in the Caribbean, at the poles, etc. Liquid form can be extracted from the CO2 in the air, and people don’t like that energy & organic compounds will be so difficult to control, once it is no longer escrowed under the earth.
Hydrocarbons are everywhere. It has been seeping out of the ground since the days of Noah, where ancient writers wrote about early uses to waterproof wooden structures.
Hydrocarbons come in convenient universal forms, to hold the naturally recyclable precursor for energy & nearly all manufactured end products used by humanity… from heating homes, to cooking food, from clothes we wear to the carpets we lay on, from dashboards on cars to the roads we drive on.
That universal liquid form, once it can not be found naturally, will be manufactured… because it is so easily piped, held in tanks, and can be changed from a liquid state into any basic form like long threads and even printed into objects using 3D printers.
Any talk of oil running out is not only willful ignorant, but honestly a petty scare tactic, and demonstrates a degree of scientific misunderstanding that dates back to the stone ages.

@ignaciofernandezclavel3535 - “millions of years of concentrated solar energy”
You bring up a good point, but millions of years are not needed to organically concentrate solar energy.
There are only 4 bonds needed for a Carbon atom, sugars are made in real time from photosynthesis, and the aggregated sugars are at the core of organic energy storage & usage. Plants 🌱 pipe the sugar around through xylem & phloem.
Prometheus produces liquid fuel ⛽️ directly from CO2 in the air, by mixing it with salt water, pass electricity through it, and the fuel is separated from the water.
NASA produces liquid fuel directly from CO2 in the air using solar powered thin film devices. The photoelectrochemical cells produce hydrocarbons directly from the air.
Carbon Engineering from Canada has been harvesting CO2 directly from the air for 8 years and converting it directly to fuel for 6 years.
Sun Fire in Europe has been producing fuel directly from CO2 in the air, using high temperature electrolysis.
South Korea 🇰🇷 is combining H2 with CO2 from the air & water with a catalyst to produce diesel fuel.
Oxford University is using Iron catalysts to drip 💧 jet fuel from the CO2 from the air, hydrogen, and water.
These are not the only methods, but just a sampling, and the secret is to de-escrow the carbon from the earth 🌎 to make it readily available to everyone across the earth.
Honestly, there are so many ways to create hydrocarbons… and we don’t have to burn it, but can continue to make whatever we need to. We will never run out.

@ignaciofernandezclavel3535 - “require massive amounts of FF to be manufactured”
H2 is the key 🔑 factor in many of those technologies. Hydrogen can start replacing FF today, without little special changes.
H2 can be introduced into existing Natural Gas appliances & turbines today, up to 20%, to stretch natural gas.
H2 is being introduced to existing diesel vehicles in Europe, today, to stretch diesel longer.
Existing NG infrastructure is being upgraded to handle greater percentages of H2, all the way to 100%, and this can be done as existing NG infrastructure needs to be repaired & renewed.
H2 transportation exists today and is increasing around regional hydrogen hubs.
H2 & NG turbines are being released, today.
H2 & Diesel dual fuel engines are being released in ships, today.
H2 & Diesel dual fuel engines are being released for large trucks, today.
The first H2 powered test planes ✈️ are being flown last year & this year.
H2 can be cracked from salt water, today, using nuclear ☢️ facilities located by existing ocean 🌊 waterways.
In the end, H2 can provide everything we need, today, without incurring the mining, manufacturing, repair issues associated with brand new all electric infrastructure.
For the electric ⚡️ heads… Solar ☀️ & wind 💨 are both intermittent energy sources, which H2 production can mitigate by H2 being used as a storage for a percentage of the energy produced, for when there is no solar & wind… and excess can be used for transportation.
Carbon fuels are superior energy carriers, where waste is naturally recycled by living things, but H2 offers an immediately achievable alternative with cleaner & more efficient options in the future with fuel cells.

@ignaciofernandezclavel3535 - “technology you mention are subsidiaries of fossil fuels”
Nope 👎
Liquid fuel ⛽️ directly from CO2 in the air, by mixing it with salt water, pass electricity through it, and the fuel is separated from the water… only requires electricity ⚡️, which can come from any source… and does not explicitly require fossil fuels.
Liquid fuel directly from CO2 in the air using solar powered thin film devices. The photoelectrochemical cells produce hydrocarbons directly from the air… does not explicitly require fossil fuels.
Harvesting CO2 directly from the air for 8 years and converting it directly to fuel for 6 years… does not explicitly require fossil fuels.
Producing fuel directly from CO2 in the air, using high temperature electrolysis… does not explicitly require fossil fuels.
Combining H2 with CO2 from the air & water with a catalyst to produce diesel fuel… does not explicitly require fossil fuels, H2 can come from nuclear or solar electrolysis.
Iron catalysts to drip 💧 jet fuel from the CO2 from the air, hydrogen, and water… does not explicitly require fossil fuels, since H2 can come from nuclear or solar electrolysis.
Carbon based liquids will be around a long time.
“energy return from these processes is less than 1:1”
That is the case from every process.
There is always loss, that is academic.
There is also loss in recycling process, which makes carbon based energy very efficient (in comparison to spent batteries 🪫 )
