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. —Ren et al. Licht (2017).

In both electric- and hydrogen-favoring cases, availability of low-carbon electricity and hydrogen prolonged the use of petroleum-fueled ICE vehicles. For example, the study found that the availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has a major impact on the lowest cost passenger vehicle fuel and technology choice.

The concept’s key feature is the use of high-temperature heat from a solar concentrating tower to drive the chemical process of converting biomass to a biofuel, obtaining a near-complete utilization of carbon atoms in the biomass. Energy conversion efficiency (%). Ten percent of carbon is oxidized and released to the environment.

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Chemical plants on dedicated platforms then process part of the hydrogen, combining it with nitrogen to make ammonia, or with carbon dioxide to produce substitutes for fossil fuels. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To restore balance we must protect the oxygen-producing biomass of Earth and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. But use of petroleum will continue.
