UD team devises CO2 direct air capture device powered by hydrogen for HEMFCs

Green Car Congress

University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated an effective way to capture 99% of carbon dioxide from the ambient air feed to an hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen. However, HEMFC performance is adversely affected by CO 2 present in the ambient air feed.

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%). An open-access paper on their work is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Surrey team developing direct-air-capture CO2 to methanol process

Green Car Congress

Synthesizing methanol would constitute a significant advancement, coupling a presently expensive but necessary method of CO 2 capture from the air, with the production of a substance that can bring some revenue to offset costs and further incentivize the scaling up of direct air capture. —Dr Duyar.
