Home fuel from C02 Emissions & Algae

Capture your car's CO2 and use it to re-power your vehicle - and your home
 
A new technology that can capture the carbon emissions from your car is about to be unveiled to the world for the first time.
 
Origo Industries has developed a system that captures the CO2 from your vehicle's engine and then allows you to turn these emissions into fuel at your own home to re-power your car. The same fuel could also be used to power your house.
 
The system uses a revolutionary new approach where CO2 is regenerated through algae in a home unit, allowing the user to produce bio-oil (up to 2500 litres per year tax-free).
 
Origo Industries is displaying its technology for the first ever time at the UK's largest Green Motor Show, Green-Car-Guide Live! 2008, sponsored by Masternaut Three X.

Haase comments-
This story true but costs about $3,000 - $5,000  a year per vehicle to do... hopefully the cost will come down. My family spent a total of $2,800 on $4 gasoline last year for both vehicles. 
 
I do believe that redirecting misguided fuel subsides could balance the cost and save the U.S. billions.
