USC team develops highly efficient catalyst system for converting CO2 to methanol; 79% yield from CO2 captured from air

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, have developed a highly efficient homogeneous Ru-based catalyst system for the production of methanol (CH 3 OH) from CO 2 and H 2 in an ethereal solvent (initial turnover frequency = 70 h −1 at 145 °C). The work, led by G.K.
