Researchers from University of Girona (Spain) successfully used electrically efficient microbial electrosynthesis cells (MES) to convert CO 2 to butyric acid. This study showcases the potential of bioelectrochemical conversion of CO 2 to butyric acid and its subsequent upgrade to butanol in microbial electrolysis cells.

EPFL scientists have developed an Earth-abundant and low-cost catalytic system for splitting CO 2 into CO and oxygen—an important step towards achieving the conversion of renewable energy into hydrocarbon fuels. The system was able to selectively convert CO2 to CO with an efficiency of 13.4% using solar energy. 2017.87.

Chemical reactor company INERATEC , a spinoff of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and the Spanish company GAS NATURAL FENOSA have built a plant in Spain that produces synthetic natural gas from CO 2 and renewable hydrogen. The renewable gas can be stored in the existing gas infrastructure and transported to areas all over Spain.
