S. Korean researchers develop new catalytic pathway for direct conversion of CO2 to liquid hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

Proposed carbon capture and utilization (CCU) system based on catalytic CO 2 conversion to liquid hydrocarbon fuels with hydrogen supplied from solar water splitting. Making hydrocarbons out of CO 2 must overcome two challenges—chemical stability of the CO 2 molecule and a cheap and renewable hydrogen source. Source: Choi et al.
