Scientists at the Singapore-based Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have made an unprecedented breakthrough in transforming carbon dioxide, a common greenhouse gas, into methanol, a widely used form of industrial feedstock and clean-burning biofuel. Using "organocatalysts", researchers activated carbon dioxide in a mild and non-toxic process to produce the more useful chemical compound.

Decent. I hope the scientists know about Virgin's $25 million (might be £, unsure) for the first person to create and a viable way to remove greenhous gases. Or the scientist may be like the guy who solved one of the Millenium Prize Problems, and not claim any money.
