A new catalyst made from an inexpensive, abundant metal and common table sugar has the power to remake carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into carbon monoxide (CO). In a just released Northwestern University study, the new catalyst successfully converted CO2 into CO, an important building block to produce a variety of useful chemicals. When the reaction […]

Research Says Biomass Pretreatment Makes Biofuel Practical
February 29, 2024 | 1 Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A new University of California – Riverside (UCR) study found that introducing a simple, renewable chemical to the pretreatment step can finally make next-generation biofuel production both cost-effective and carbon neutral. The first step, breaking down the plant matter has always been the hardest when it comes to making fuel from plants. For biofuels […]

New Efficient Process Recycles CO2 Back Into Fuel
December 6, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers developed an efficient process that can convert carbon dioxide into formate. Formate is a nonflammable liquid or solid material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a fuel cell and generate electricity. The describing paper has been published in the journal Cell Press Physical Sciences. The […]
