New Inexpensive Passive Solar Powered Water Desalination
March 17, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have developed a desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In addition to providing fresh water, the process could be used to treat contaminated wastewater or generate steam for sterilizing medical instruments, all without requiring a power source other than sunlight. An estimated two-thirds of […]

Finding The Problem Of Making CO2 Back Into Fuel
March 9, 2022 | Leave a Comment
A new Massachusetts Institute of Technology study reveals why some attempts to convert and recycle carbon dioxide into fuel have failed, and offers possible solutions. If researchers could find a way to chemically convert carbon dioxide and recycle it into fuels or other products, they might make the current carbon dioxide cycle a real time […]

Reduction Reactions Used To Turn CO2 Back Into Fuels
December 1, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Texas A&M University researchers recently published a comprehensive review article on how carbon dioxide can be isolated through reduction reactions and then transformed into value-added chemicals for fuels. They are able to show a path to recycle and repurpose excess carbon dioxide. While a very small percentage of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide plays a […]
