Most of us naturally associate biological CO 2 conversion with photosynthesis in plants and algae. While engineering photosynthetic hosts to convert CO 2 into high-value products is sensible, dependence on sunlight limits its tractability and scalability. Their paper is published in the journal Joule. Acetogenic microbes (e.g.,

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. The conversion reaction also produces light olefins—ethylene, propylene, and butenes—totalling a yield of 8.7%. and selectivity to C 8 –C 16 hydrocarbons of 47.8%

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. The study will drive further research into how to develop a practical industrial catalyst for selectively converting CO 2 into ethanol.

WANG Feng at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported that photocatalytic decarboxylation is an efficient alternate pathway for converting biomass-derived fatty acids into alkanes under mild conditions of ambient temperature and pressure. This finding was published in Nature Catalysis.

and Princeton University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment have created a scalable photocatalyst that can convert ammonia into hydrogen fuel. Unlike traditional catalysts, it doesn’t require heat; it harvests energy from light. The research is published in Science. —Peter Nordlander, co-author.
