could someone please link me to the carbon fixation/solar power/synthetic fuel company that was mentioned some time ago? the one with the good FAQ and the mention right at the start of the Haber Process.

@Felthry Yes. The start of the linked page went something like "For thousands of years, humanity got its nitrates entirely from saltpeter rock and guano islands. Then the Haber Process happened, and we started pulling nitrogen out of the air directly and cracking water to make into ammonia, and nitrates from that. We propose to help solve the climate crisis by doing the same, using existing cement infrastructure to capture and purify CO2, use solar power to get hydrogen - which power is cheap enough that we don't have to worry about photovoltaic efficiency - and then make synthetic fuels."
