Keep in mind that Carbon Dioxide, as is co-produced in relatively small amounts, compared to some natural sources of CO2 emissions, such as the Earth's inexorable processes of planetary volcanism, from our economically essential use of Coal in the generation of abundant and reliable, and affordable, electricity, can be and should be treated as a valuable raw material resource.

Our headline on this dispatch is, in some respects, misleading. It is certainly too narrow. The technology disclosed herein, as we will see, involves quite a lot more than the conversion of CO2 into just "Ethanol".By way of recap, we've so far provided you with numerous reports documenting the development of an integrated body of Carbon Dioxide chemical recycling technologies; which development, as seen for one example in:

We've documented many times that the Ash which is co-produced by our economically essential use of Coal in the generation of truly reliable and genuinely affordable electric power can be and should be treated as a valuable resource.
Aside from it's indisputable and well-established utility as a raw material for the making of Portland-type cement and as a property-enhancing fine aggregate for blending into cement, to make stronger, more chemically resistant concrete, Coal Ash can also, as explained by our USDOE in:

We have documented for you now in numerous reports, as most recently in:
West Virginia Coal Association | CO2-to-Methanol Supported by World's Largest Methanol Supplier | Research & Development; concerning the news release: "'Methanex and Carbon Recycling International Sign Landmark Investment Agreement for Advanced Renewable Fuel Production'; July 30, 2013; REYKJAVIK, ICELAND - Methanex Corporation ... announced today an initial $5 million investment in Carbon Recycling International (CRI), a privately held company with headquarters in Reykjavik, Iceland. Methanex will also evaluate further investments to support CRI's growth. CRI operates the world's first renewable methanol plant in Iceland which utilizes its emissions-to- liquids (ETL) technology, converting renewable energy and recycled CO2 emissions to renewable methanol";

We've provided you with quite a few reports by now, originating from a variety of impeccably credible sources, that document the rather immense value waiting to be extracted from that freely-available natural raw material resource: Carbon Dioxide.
Among those reports are a number chronicling the establishment, by the company Carbon Recycling International, of a CO2-to-Methanol factory in the nation of Iceland. As seen, for example, in:
