Canadians Find a Way for CO2 to Fuel
August 4, 2016 | Leave a Comment
University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering (UTFASE) engineers have developed a technique powered by renewable energies such as solar or wind to turn carbon dioxide back into fuels. This release is only a coupe days after a major U.S. research team got their release out. The hunt is on. The researchers led […]

Make Carbon Monoxide Right Back Into Fuel
July 27, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Cornell University biological engineers have deciphered the cellular strategy of an anaerobic microbe feeding on carbon monoxide to make the biofuel ethanol. Ludmilla Aristilde, assistant professor in biological and environmental engineering said, “Instead of having the waste go to waste, you make it into something you want. In order to make the microbes do our […]

A New Way to Recycle CO2
June 25, 2013 | 1 Comment
Chemist Joel Rosenthal University of Delaware’s (UD) Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and doctoral student John DiMeglio have developed an inexpensive catalyst that uses the electricity generated from solar energy to convert carbon dioxide to the commodity precursor chemical carbon monoxide. A little background: in fuel combustion the carbon and hydrogen components of the fuel […]

Bit ‘O Gold Makes a Better Fuel Cell
March 13, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Brown University chemists have built a triple-headed metallic nanoparticle that is reported to perform better and last longer than any other nanoparticle catalyst studied in fuel-cell reactions. The study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society reports the key is adding gold to the catalyst formation process to yield a more uniform crystal […]

Industrial Waste Gas to Jet Fuel
October 12, 2011 | 6 Comments
Waste gases emitted by blast furnaces, coke ovens and BOF (basic oxygen furnace) operations can now be converted into low-cost ethanol and high-value chemicals. The new fuel production process recycles waste gases that would otherwise be oxidized further to carbon dioxide and released into the atmosphere. Britain’s Virgin Atlantic Airline announced the development of a […]
