However, the researchers noted, building alcohol-selective CO 2 RR electrocatalysts is a challenge. C 2+ alcohols are desirable due to their high energy densities and large global market capacities. Copper, one of the most effective catalysts toward C 2+ products, typically favors the formation of hydrocarbons other than alcohols.

A paper on the work is published in the journal Materials Today Energy. Johnson et al. Click to enlarge.
As buzz around synthetic fuels builds, the Europe-focused environmental group Transport & Environment (T&E) cautions that vehicles burning these supposedly greener fuels may cause more carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions than battery-powered vehicles, and cost more as well.
According to Shi, since the electrochemical system is powered by hydrogen, as the hydrogen economy develops, this electrochemical device could also be used in airplanes and buildings where air recirculation is desired as an energy-saving measure.
Pulling chemical building blocks directly out of the air can create a just-in-time process that will help us finally say goodbye to safety hazards such as storing large quantities of chemicals. Importantly, this process could boost the economy by spurring carbon-negative growth, as well as provide fuel security for the UK.

The same is true for buildings. It’s the first megacity for which we’ve quantified emissions down to the scale of every building and roadway. The results are published in Earth Systems Science Data. The Los Angeles megacity—the third-largest metropolitan area in the world—occupies 4,850 square miles and houses more than 18.5
Global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reached a new all-time high in 2013, according to the annual report “Trends in global CO2 emissions”, released by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European Joint Research Centre (JRC).

In return, this plant supplies the highly concentrated CO 2 required as a basic building block for the e-gas. The waste heat given off during methanation is used as process energy in the adjacent biogas plant, significantly increasing overall efficiency. This CO 2 thus serves as a raw material and is not emitted to the atmosphere.
The report builds on an earlier study, “Preparing for a Life Cycle CO 2 Measure” written for the LowCVP by Ricardo. The main conclusions of that study were that future CO 2 e metrics for passenger cars need to go “beyond the tailpipe” and take account of whole life cycle CO 2 e emissions to more fully account for environmental impacts.
When the energy required to build the e-gas facility and wind power generators is included in a comprehensive analysis, CO 2 emissions under e-Gas operation are still less than 30 grams per km (48.28 g/mile).
By using a new, innovate manufacturing process, the production of steel at the supplier level is CO2 free.

Every manufacturer that is emitting steam and/or CO 2 into the air can, with our collective approach, build facilities to use waste steam to take CO 2 out of the air or from their process emissions and use the CO 2 to make a valuable platform chemical. We are converting common industrial waste streams into product streams —Todd Brix.
To build room for poorer countries to grow their aviation sectors, richer countries will need to peak emissions even faster. Emerging economies with fast growing carriers, notably India and China, have argued that their carriers would require until 2060 and 2070, respectively, to achieve net zero emissions.
