University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) chemical engineers have found a way by making catalysts to convert waste carbon dioxide recycling it into useful industrial products. The process so far has been expensive and complicated – until now. Engineers explain in the press release it’s as easy as playing with Legos. The carbon dioxide […]

New Photocatalyst Makes Syngas From CO2 and Methane
January 30, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Rice University engineers have created a light-powered nanoparticle that makes syngas from CO2 and methane. The particle, tiny spheres of copper dotted with single atoms of ruthenium, is the key component in a green process for making syngas, or synthesis gas, a valuable chemical feedstock that’s used to make fuels, fertilizer and many other products. […]

New Chemical Process Converts CO2 Straight to Syngas
January 15, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Wake Forest University scientists have created a new chemical process that does in the lab what trees do in nature, convert carbon dioxide into usable chemicals or fuels. The research paper describing the new chemical process “Colloidal Silver Diphosphide Nanocrystals as Low Overpotential Catalysts for CO2 Reduction to Tunable Syngas,” has been published online in […]

Artificial Leaf Makes Syngas On Cloudy Days
October 22, 2019 | Leave a Comment
University of Cambridge researchers have developed an ‘artificial leaf’ that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make syngas. Syngas is a widely-used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels that could eventually be used to develop a sustainable liquid fuel alternative to gasoline. The carbon-neutral device sets a new benchmark in the […]

New Catalyst For Coal To Liquid Fuel Process
October 24, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Eindhoven University of Technology researchers have developed iron-based catalysts that substantially reduce operating costs and open the door to capturing the large amounts of CO2 that are generated for the Coal To Liquid Fuel Process (CTL). World energy consumption projections expect coal to stay one of the world’s main energy sources in the coming decades, […]
