New Catalytic Pathway for the Reduction of CO2 to CO Under Mild Conditions

Green Car Congress

The resulting CO can be used to convert water to hydrogen via the water gas shift reaction. Article ASAP doi: 10.1021/ja909038t. Tags: Catalysts Climate Change Emissions Fuels Hydrogen. The reaction also shows a new economical way to oxidize aromatic aldehydes, and could be applied in pharmaceutical synthesis.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

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). The production of synthetic fuels from carbon dioxide (and/or water) has been widely studied and can be efficient.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. Unlike today, the future will see a climate-neutral world where energy will primarily be electricity from photovoltaics, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants. Why all the hype about hydrogen?

Study Questions Lifecycle Emissions Benefits of Using CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery as a Method for Carbon Sequestration

Green Car Congress

Secondary recovery techniques generally injecting water or gas to displace oil and drive it to a production wellbore, resulting in the recovery of 20 to 40% of the original oil in place. Article ASAP doi: 10.1021/es902006h. During primary production, natural reservoir pressure or gravity pushes oil into the wellbore. Jaramillo et al.
