The feedstocks for the fuels are produced from the ubiquitous hydrogen and carbon dioxide available (with appropriate processing) in seawater. Previous work in this area, most of it one or two decades old, was reviewed, as were significant developments since. Various end product synthetic fuels were studied including hydrogen, methanol, and naval fuels (jet fuel and naval distillate) together with their respective applications. In addition the synthetic fuel is a recycled product, one that 收起
