Dr. Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) at George Washington University is developing a solar-driven process that, he says, could efficiently replace current industrial processes for the production of certain energetic molecules such as hydrogen, metals and chlorine, which are responsible for a large component of anthropogenic CO 2.

In addition to developing economically viable products that utilize CO 2 emissions from power plants, the XPRIZE contest aims to scale up these technologies to a point that can truly impact climate change. There is building consensus that unchecked climate change can lead to a planetary extinction event. Stuart Licht.

There is no need for a separate reverse water-gas shift reactor to produce syngas, and the waste heat from exothermic fuel synthesis is useful in the process. Using solar photovoltaic energy at 10-20% efficiency, that would result in an overall 7-14% solar energy to liquid fuel efficiency, he said. Solid State Ionics In press.

This heating from the melting Arctic will grow significantly over the coming decades, projected to more than double by 2100 when expressed in CO2 equivalents. The loss of heat-reflecting sea ice and snow results in the absorption of more solar energy leading to warming. By 2050, this number rises to a cumulative range of $2.4
