The Fischer-Tropsch pathway requires syngas production, which forces an additional step of reducing sourced CO2 to CO if regular electrolysis is applied to obtain H2.
“The Fischer-Tropsch pathway requires syngas production, which will force that, if regular electrolysis is applied to obtain H 2 , an additional step of reducing the sourced CO 2 to CO must be undertaken [76].”

Waste gas from industrial processes where decarbonization is complex (cement or limestone industries) could be used to create a CO2 cascade, a process in which CO2 from non-sustainable sources is re-utilized before being finally released into the atmosphere.
“Waste gas from industrial processes in which decarbonization is an especially complex endeavor, such as the cement or limestone industries, could be used to create a CO 2 cascade-a process in which CO 2 from non-sustainable sources is re-utilized before being finally released into the atmosphere [76].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
