Công nghệ sinh học sẽ làm giảm nhu cầu về dầu mỏ bằng cách lấy nguyên liệu thô rẻ nhất có thể tưởng tượng được, carbon dioxide và nước, và sử dụng chúng để sản xuất nhiên liệu và nhựa.
Nhựa và nhiên liệu được tạo ra theo cách này sẽ có nhiều ưu điểm. Chúng có thể được gọi là "tái tạo", do đó không có gì cạn kiệt để tạo ra chúng. Chúng sẽ là một phần của chu kỳ carbon tự nhiên, mượn nguyên tố đó từ khí quyển trong một vài tháng, và trả lại khi chúng bị cháy hoặc thải ra.
