Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

Carbon Recycling International (CRI) and Johnson Matthey (JM) have agreed on a long-term exclusive catalyst supply agreement for the use of JM’s KATALCO methanol catalysts in CRI’s Emissions-To-Liquids (ETL) CO 2 -to-methanol plants. Hydrogen can also be processed from by-product hydrogen available in some industrial waste streams.

Three-part catalyst study advances conversion of CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. There has been much work on carbon dioxide conversion to methanol, yet ethanol has many advantages over methanol.

BMW i Ventures invests in Prometheus Fuels; CO2 air-capture and conversion to carbon-neutral gasoline

Green Car Congress

BMW i Ventures has invested in Prometheus Fuels ( earlier post ), a company removing CO 2 from the air and turning it into zero-net carbon gasoline that it will sell at gas stations, at a price that competes with fossil fuels, starting as early as this year.

Researchers develop novel graphene/silicon catalyst for highly selective photoelectroreduction of carbon dioxide to ethanol

Green Car Congress

The results were published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. C 2 H 5 OH was therefore exclusively generated with a selectivity of >99% and a CO 2 conversion rate of 17.1mmol g cat -1 h -1 under simulated solar irradiation with a small bias (-50 mV bias vs. Ag/AgCl) and ambient conditions.
