Aircela has developed a home device capable of filtering CO₂ from the air and producing gasoline, usable in existing gasoline engines without modifications. The device functions as a plug-and-play system, requiring no technical knowledge.

It captures CO₂ from ambient air and generates hydrogen from water supplied via household plumbing. The system can produce approximately four liters of gasoline per day by removing around ten kilograms of CO₂.

However, the process is energy-intensive, requiring about 75 kWh of electricity to produce four liters of gasoline, equivalent to 37 kWh of energy. Aircela is working to reduce energy losses in the system. The device is expected to be priced between €15,000 and €20,000, with a market release date yet to be announced.
