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 […]

Catalyst Found That Converts CO2 Back To Natural Gas

November 18, 2021 | 1 Comment

A team of researchers has now reported the synthesis of a highly active, stable, nickel–carbon catalyst that recycles carbon dioxide through a conversion to methane (natural gas). A useful process for this transformation is photothermal methanation, in which CO2 and hydrogen are catalytically converted into CH4 and water upon irradiation with sunlight. In the journal […]

Making Methane From CO2 With Electricity

March 17, 2020 | Leave a Comment

Waseda University scientists of Japan have developed a new method to convert carbon dioxide to methane with an electric field at low temperatures. Compared to previous methods, this new method can produce any amount of methane whenever necessary. Methane, the main component of natural gas can be used to generate heat and electricity, so this […]

Catalyst Found To Recycle Carbon Dioxide

November 21, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Researchers from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), Fritz-Haber Institute Berlin and Fraunhofer Umsicht in Oberhausen have found a catalyst for carbon dioxide recycling using the mineral pentlandite. Pentlandite may also be a conceivable alternative to expensive precious metal catalysts. By adding a suitable solvent, the researchers successfully utilized pentlandite to convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, a […]
