New photocatalytic system converts carbon dioxide to valuable fuel more efficiently than natural photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

The new system mimics a natural chloroplast to convert carbon dioxide in water into methane, very efficiently using light. In past decades, many scientists have tried to develop artificial photosynthesis processes to turn carbon dioxide into carbon-neutral fuel. A paper on this team’s latest work was published in Nature Catalysis.

Transform Materials plasma process converts abundant natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene

Green Car Congress

Transform Materials has developed a novel and sustainable microwave plasma reactor process to convert natural gas into high-value hydrogen and acetylene, thereby opening up a new pathway for green chemical manufacturing. Acetylene can be then converted into many derivative chemicals, all possessing high value.
