Oxford team directly converts CO2 to jet fuel using iron-based catalysts

Green Car Congress

The catalyst shows a carbon dioxide conversion through hydrogenation to hydrocarbons in the aviation jet fuel range of 38.2%, with a yield of 17.2%, and a selectivity of 47.8%, and with an attendant low carbon monoxide (5.6%) and methane selectivity (10.4%). Fe 5 C 2 by CO 2 /water in the first hours of the catalytic reaction.

Twelve produces first batch of E-Jet fuel from CO2 electrolysis; partnership with USAF; electrifying fuel, not planes

Green Car Congress

Carbon transformation company Twelve (formerly Opus 12, earlier post ) has produced the first fossil-free jet fuel—called E-Jet—from CO 2 electrolysis, demonstrating a scalable, energy-efficient path to the de-fossilization of global aviation. Global aviation produces 1.2 —Twelve Co-Founder and CEO Nicholas Flanders.

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

Stuart Licht reports that the addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced from CO 2 by low-energy C2CNT (CO 2 to CNT) molten electrolysis ( earlier post ) to materials such as concrete or steel not only forms composites with significantly better properties, but amplifies the reduction of CO 2. A) Carbon mitigation with CNT-cement. (B)

What we don’t admit about carbon dioxide

Electric Auto Association

But before consumers assign appropriate value to low carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, they must make an accurate judgment about the malevolence of this well-known gas. Unfortunately, our intuitive concepts about CO2 conflict with our scientific appraisal of its harmfulness. Time for a name change?

Study suggests energy and GHG impacts of synthetic hydrocarbon fuels from CO2 are greater than impacts of existing hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

Their quantitative lifecycle assessment of the environmental merits of liquid hydrocarbon fuels produced from CO 2 , water and energy compared to alternative fuel production routes is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. R indicates reference alternatives not explicitly modeled in this study.

Photo-activated catalyst converts CO2 to CO for clean fuel technology; no unwanted byproducts

Green Car Congress

An international research team led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a light-activated material that can chemically convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide without generating unwanted byproducts.
