MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and thence into useful fuels for cars, trucks, and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products.

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). Molten carbonate electrosynthesized boron-doped CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity. Licht (2017).

gigatons of CO 2 : three times Germany’s carbon-dioxide emissions in 2016. Carbon-neutral combustion engines that run on synthetic fuels are thus a very promising path to explore—including for passenger cars.

A major goal among scientists has been decreasing the excess energy needed to convert captured carbon dioxide back into fuel. The new molecule requires the least amount of energy reported thus far to drive the formation of carbon monoxide. Photo by Ben Noffke and Richard Schaugaard. Click to enlarge.

This process will enable the economically viable transformation of excess power and off-gas carbon dioxide into methanol in small-scale, decentralized production units. Renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power plants generate excess current at times when it is not needed. kWh battery. Source: bse Engineering.

Duke University researchers have engineered rhodium nanoparticles that can harness the energy in ultraviolet light and use it to catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide to methane, a key building block for many types of fuels. The black, red, and blue spheres are carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms, respectively. Zhang et al.

Researchers from the University of Liverpool (UK), with colleagues from Dalian University of Technology (China) and the University of Hull (UK), have developed a new process for the direct, one-step activation of carbon dioxide and methane (dry reforming of methane) into higher value liquid fuels and chemicals (e.g., doi: 10.1002/ange.201707131.

When it comes to carbon-neutral production, two levers are used: the efficient generation of energy and the reduction of energy consumption.

The world in the 21st century must transition to widespread low carbon energy use. Hydrogen is an indispensable resource to achieve this transition because it can be used to store and transport wind, solar and other renewable electricity to power transportation and many other things.

Rush to switch to low carbon generation. Solar also generates a good share of the power generated when the sun shines. Centrica closed the vast Rough storage facility in 2017 prompting concerns about gas pricing. While Boris is in New York pressing world leaders to cut CO2 output here is the UK we find ourselves lacking in CO2.

But now that I’ve found out they’re still lying and covering up their role in climate change and the size of their own carbon footprint, I’m going to have to get tougher with them. So now I’m only giving them till 2017 to get out of town. I turn 60 in 2017 and this will be a present I’m getting myself.

You just feed it electricity, water and carbon dioxide, and it makes ethanol. The problem is that it also makes 15 other compounds simultaneously, including lower-value products like methane and carbon monoxide. Jaramillo (2017). Copper is one of the few catalysts that can produce ethanol at room temperature,” he said.

Further, according to a report from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), gasoline and diesel ICE vehicle technologies fueled on a fossil/biofuel mix emit approximately 245–253 g CO2 eq./km Whereas, battery EVs fueled on average grid electricity emit 105–124 g CO2 eq./km, What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint?
