Researchers propose CO2 recycling to improve Fischer-Tropsch GTL efficiency and reduce total CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

Although Co-based catalysts have higher activity and selectivity to long chain hydrocarbons compared to Fe-based catalysts, Fe-based catalysts are much less expensive than Co-based catalysts and active for the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction. Thus, note the researchers, Fe-based F?T Unfortunately, in conventional low temperature F?
