DoD Researchers Work to Increase the Production of Higher Chain Hydrocarbons from CO2 Using a Traditional Fischer-Tropsch Catalyst

Green Car Congress

Very little research has been performed applying CO 2 as the carbon source in synthetic fuel production, the authors note, because generally CO 2 —which is chemically very stable—has been thought of as having too high of an energy barrier for polymerization, even in the presence of a catalyst.
