Next, these fats are processed into renewable diesel by: Hydrotreating: Using high pressure hydrogen to remove the oxygen (which is converted to water). The petroleum refineries are located in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, and the ethanol plants are located in the Mid-Continent region of the US.

By using light-activated quantum dots to fire particular enzymes within microbial cells, the researchers were able to create “living factories” that eat CO 2 and convert it into products such as biodegradable plastic, gasoline, ammonia and biodiesel. A paper on their work appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Ding et al.

That’s the equivalent of the annual carbon emissions of the United Kingdom and Indonesia combined. Its production, mainly for the chemicals and refining industries, is responsible for 830 million tonnes of CO 2 emissions per year. Another approach is for industries to secure greater supplies of hydrogen from clean electricity.

Fast neutrons—that is, ones with 1 megaelectron-volt or more of kinetic energy—split the plutonium atoms, releasing secondary neutrons that are captured by the U-238 and convert some of that U-238 into plutonium. Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does.

Thanks to the catalytic converter in their cars, most people have an idea of what catalysis is. A catalytic converter , for example, uses palladium, rhodium, and platinum to convert pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and nitrogen dioxide into water and carbon dioxide.
