Fischer Tropsch question

Hi All,

Can anyone direct me to articles which discuss the use of CO2 (as
opposed to CO) in the fischer tropsch synthesis?

I recall reading a paper from UC Berkeley ~7 years ago (Dr. Bell for
some reason rings a bell, no pun intended) that mentioned CO2 gave
better yields for methanol synthesis (using a copper-based catalyst)
than CO was. Just wondering if the same logic applies to the FT
synthesis.

Thanks
