With technology to convert CO2 and H2O into liquid fuel through the use of renewable resources will bring a bright future for us.
Elon Musk elaborated at this when he suggests that the STARSHIP could it make its own fuel on Mars using CO2 and H2O found on Mars to make methan or CH4 .
Being able to do that on Mars means that such a technology could be possible on Earth as well. Where we can create our own carbon cycle to take CO2 and H2O which is found everywhere, use solar energy (or other renewable energy sources) to split the atoms and create CH4. More ideally, we would want to make liquid fuels, like ethanol or more complex longer chained hydrocarbons which exist as a liquid in room temperature and pressure. That is because methane is a gas and it is hard to store gases compared to liquid.
Based on the National Geography website:
"Carbon Engineering, a Canadian company, is already making a liquid fuel by sucking carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere and combining it with hydrogen from water."
This would be a game changer for the human race.
