Herein, we see that our USDOE hired the University of Georgia to demonstrate that Carbon Dioxide, reclaimed from whatever source, can, both directly and, as we will explain, indirectly, be recycled into basic chemical manufacturing industry raw materials.
The specific product of the CO2-recycling technology developed in Georgia, "succinic acid", might not even sound familiar to our readers, but, as a foreword, here's a reference that might help to explain it:

We've earlier documented, at least once, the somewhat, to us, inexplicable assignment, by our USDOE, of responsibilities for researching Coal liquefaction technology to the Bechtel Corporation, of San Francisco.
Herein, we see that the USDOE engaged Bechtel's services to evaluate a variety of Coal conversion processes, all of which we have previously, and separately, reported to you.

Method for forming synthesis gas
First, please recall: 1940 CO2 + H2O + CH4 = Hydrocarbon Syngas | Research & Development | News;
wherein is disclosed details of: "US Patent 2,198,553 - Making a Synthesis Gas Mixture of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen; April, 1940; Assignee: The M.W. Kellogg Company, NY; Abstract: Our invention relates to a method of making synthesis gas ... having a controllable ratio of hydrogen with respect to carbon monoxide ... from methane, steam and carbon dioxide."
Also, as in: USDOE Pays for California Methane from Coal and Steam | Research & Development | News; and: Chicago Recycles CO2 to Methane | Research & Development | News; keep in mind that we can synthesize such useful Methane either from Coal, or, from Carbon Dioxide.
