Researchers Develop Process for Conversion of CO2 to Methanol Under Mild Conditions

Green Car Congress

IBN’s research shows that only a small amount of NHC is required to induce carbon dioxide activity in a reaction. Hydrosilane, a combination of silica and hydrogen, is added to the NHC-activated carbon dioxide, and the product of this reaction is transformed into methanol by adding water (hydrolysis).
