As I understood it your question was: if particular processes creating algae from CO2 emissions were commercialised, where would the liability fall? I think that is what you were asking. I am advised that as yet that process has not been commercialised. Were that process to be commercialised there would have to be a technical consideration of where the liability would fall. As I understand it, CO2 is admitted and you then have the algae, and the algae is then used as a fuel source.
