MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and thence into useful fuels for cars, trucks, and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products. Ghoniem’s lab is exploring some of these options.

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have harnessed the power of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into fuels and alcohols at efficiencies far greater than plants. The initial focus of JCAP research was tackling the efficient splitting of water in the photosynthesis process.

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). Molten carbonate electrosynthesized boron-doped CNTs exhibit high electrical conductivity. Licht (2017).

Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara have developed catalytic molten metals to pyrolize methane to release hydrogen and to form solid carbon. The insoluble carbon floats to the surface of the melt, where it can be removed and stored or incorporated into composite materials. C) Raman spectrum of surface carbon.

The carbon-related costs of converting the land to sugarcane fields were included in the analysis. Most models used to predict future crop production are statistical models that really don’t take full account of the way changes in water, carbon dioxide and temperature interact to affect sugarcane production.

Duke University researchers have engineered rhodium nanoparticles that can harness the energy in ultraviolet light and use it to catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide to methane, a key building block for many types of fuels. The black, red, and blue spheres are carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms, respectively. Zhang et al.

The dry reforming process differs from steam reforming, which combines CH 4 and water (H 2 O) in the form of steam to produce the syngas. Producing the steam is energy-intensive; dry reforming requires far less water, and hence avoids the energy burden of steam production. Milanov, A., Schunk, S. Behrens, A. and Schödel, N.

During CO 2 hydrogenation, CO 2 is initially reduced to CO by hydrogen via the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) on Fe 3 O 4 sites, followed by a subsequent hydrogenation of CO to α-olefins via Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on Fe 5 C 2 sites.

You just feed it electricity, water and carbon dioxide, and it makes ethanol. The problem is that it also makes 15 other compounds simultaneously, including lower-value products like methane and carbon monoxide. Jaramillo (2017).
