Elemental boron effective photothermocatalyst for the conversion of CO2 for fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

This could form the basis of a new, more efficient process for converting the greenhouse gas CO 2 into a useful carbon source for the production of fuels and chemical products. Their material of choice is powdered elemental boron, which very strongly absorbs sunlight and efficiently converts it photothermically, heating itself up remarkably.

Researchers suggest approach for boosting Li-S performance; conversion of Li2S to sulfur without polysulfides

Green Car Congress

Now, an international team of researchers in Europe is suggesting a possible approach to convert Li 2 S into sulfur without the detectible formation of polysulfides. Reaction I corresponds to the direct conversion of Li 2 S to S 8 , following by the dissolution of S 8 in the electrolyte (reaction II). earlier post.).

LanzaTech collaborating with Swayana to convert waste gases from ferroalloy production to ethanol

Green Car Congress

LanzaTech’s first commercial facility will be online at the end of 2017 in China, producing fuel-grade ethanol from captured steelmaking off-gas. The energy produced is assumed to be used internally at the site and the carbon content of the CO subsequently converted to CO 2 in-plant. Resources. Lindstad, S.E. Tranell, T.
