An international research team has developed a new single-atom electrocatalyst that efficiently converts CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO). Scientists have long sought a way to convert CO 2 to CO, but traditional electrocatalysts cannot effectively initiate the reaction. —Klaus Attenkofer, Brookhaven scientist and co-author.

For the first time thyssenkrupp has produced ammonia from steel mill gases, marking the first time in the world that steel mill gases, including the CO 2 they contain, have been converted into ammonia. In September 2018, thyssenkrupp succeeded for the first time in producing methanol from steel mill gases.

World energy consumption projections expect coal to stay one of the world’s main energy sources in the coming decades, and a growing share of it will be used in CT—the conversion of coal to liquid fuels (CTL). The first stage in CTL is the conversion of coal to syngas—a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ).
