New Hybrid Catalyst Converts Carbon Dioxide Into Ethylene

January 31, 2023 | Leave a Comment

The Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University has announced a new hybrid catalyst that converts carbon dioxide into ethylene in one pot. The catalyst was developed by scientists from Ames National Laboratory, Iowa State University, University of Virginia, and Columbia University. This catalyst supports the world net-zero carbon initiative by using carbon dioxide (CO2) recycling […]

New System Captures Carbon From Flue Gas And Makes Ethylene

January 4, 2023 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago have built a machine that captures carbon from flue gas and converts it to ethylene. The device integrates a carbon capture system with an ethylene conversion system for the first time. The system not only runs on electricity, but it also removes more carbon from the environment […]

Reverse Fuel Cell Turns CO2 Back Into Valuable Chemicals

February 27, 2020 | Leave a Comment

University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering’s engineering team has adapted technology from fuel cells to do the reverse: harness electricity to make valuable chemicals from waste carbon (CO2). Usual fuel cells turn chemicals into electricity, now the technology has been reversed. Professor Ted Sargent, one of the senior authors of the paper […]

New Process Makes CO2 Back Into Hydrocarbon

May 22, 2018 | Leave a Comment

University of Toronto engineers have designed a most efficient and stable process for recycling carbon dioxide into a key chemical building block for plastics – all powered using renewable electricity. The new technology takes a substantial step towards enabling manufacturers to create plastics out of two key ingredients: sunshine and pollution. Today, non-renewable fossil fuels […]
