The next advance in biofuels will be plant life genetically engineered to produce hydrocarbons in addition to its normal function. Using only CO2 and sunlight, the plants will produce fuel, even gasoline. Exxon Mobil has announced that it will spend over $600 pursuing algae that can do just that.
In addition, according to the article, "Joule Biotechnologies claims to have already succeeded, although the company has yet to reveal any details of its proprietary system."
Though the whole climate change phenomenon has apparently been debunked (I'm not completely buying that just yet - the empirical evidence is still too prevalent) let's hope this gasoline will be used in engines designed to have lower emissions.
Whether global warming is a hoax or not, pollution is still pollution.
