PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

By using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, (N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine) (2-EEMPA), they achieved a greater than 90% conversion of captured CO 2 to hydrocarbons—mostly methane—in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and 2 pressure).

Stanford researchers make ammonia from air and water microdroplets

Green Car Congress

The conversion rate reaches 32.9 ± 1.38 This one-step nitrogen-fixation strategy to produce ammonia is eco-friendly and low cost, which converts widely available starting materials into a value-added product. The steam-treating of natural gas involved in the process also releases ample amounts of carbon dioxide.
