Techniques, systems, apparatus and material are disclosed for regeneration or recycling of carbon substances into renewable fuel and materials. In one aspect, a method of recycling carbon to produce a renewable fuel can include harvesting carbon donors, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted from an agricultural process. Hydrogen donors, such as from biomass waste, can be dissociated under an anaerobic reaction to produce hydrogen. The harvested carbon dioxide can be reacted with the waste-produced hydrogen under pressure and temperature to generate a renewable fuel, such as methanol fuel.

1. A method for producing a liquid fuel substance, comprising: extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere;obtaining a first amount of hydrogen as a by-product from a production process to produce a carbon-based article including the dissociation of a waste;reacting the carbon dioxide with the first amount of hydrogen to produce a liquid fuel, wherein the produced liquid fuel includes a greater density of hydrogen than that of the waste; anddissociating the produced liquid fuel by adding energy to produce fuel constituents including oxides of carbon, and a second amount of hydrogen. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first amount of hydrogen is produced by reformation or dissociation of a substance that contains hydrogen. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: using the liquid fuel in a combustion engine without causing a net gain in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first amount of hydrogen is coproduced with carbon that is utilized in non-fuel applications. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the produced liquid fuel includes improved properties from that of the hydrogen from the waste, the improved properties including one or more of storability, transportability, energy density, and combustion characteristics. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the production process to produce a carbon-based article includes thermal dissociation of natural gas using heat energy or electrical energy is supplied by one or more of an engine, a solar concentrator, a solar energy generator, a wind generator, a hydro energy generator, or a geothermal energy generator. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the liquid fuel includes at least one of an alcohol or an ether. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the extracted carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is extracted from one or more of an ethanol plant, bakery, brewery, waste water digester, or permafrost. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the added energy includes at least one of heat energy or electrical energy supplied by one or more of an engine, a solar concentrator, a solar energy generator, a wind generator, a hydro energy generator, or a geothermal energy generator. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising: reacting the produced liquid fuel with water to produce an oxide of carbon and hydrogen. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: adding heat energy in the reacting of the produced liquid fuel and the water to produce the hydrogen and carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide,wherein the heat energy is supplied by one or more of an engine, a solar concentrator, a solar energy generator, a wind generator, a hydro energy generator, or a geothermal energy generator. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the produced oxide of carbon includes carbon dioxide, and the method further comprising: repurposing the carbon dioxide back to the reacting process to produce the liquid fuel. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising: during the reacting, adding a catalyst to increase a rate of production of the liquid fuel. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising: applying pressure and heat to affect equilibrium of reaction of the carbon dioxide and the hydrogen to produce the liquid fuel.
