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

Green Car Congress

A team led by Professor Jae Sung Lee at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), with colleagues at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), have developed a new pathway for the direct conversion of CO 2 to liquid transportation fuels by reaction with renewable hydrogen produced by solar water splitting.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term. Every time there is a conversion of energy from one form to another there are efficiency losses – a concept known as ‘energy vector transition’. The Conversation [link] accessed 4/6/2020.
