Researchers develop titanium and copper heterostructured photocatalyst for conversion of CO2 into CH4

Green Car Congress

Under illumination for 6 hours, the optimized reduced titania-Cu 2 O photocatalyst enables 0.13% photoreduction of highly diluted CO 2 with water vapors to 462 nmol g ?1 What if we drew inspiration from photosynthesis, the process by which plants use sunlight to convert CO2 and water into useful chemicals?

Cutting Non-CO2 Pollutants Can Delay Abrupt Climate Change; The Fast Action Climate Agenda

Green Car Congress

Noting the references in scientific and policy literature to the need for fast-action mitigation to help avoid DAI and abrupt climate changes, the authors define “fast-action” to include regulatory measures that can begin within 2–3 years, be substantially implemented in 5–10 years, and produce a climate response within decades.

CRI awarded €1.8M EU grant to scale CO2-to-methanol technology

Green Car Congress

CO 2 capture and clean-up: Waste gases are captured from the points of emission at the stack and transferred to the gas conditioning system where impurities are removed to produce CO 2 suitable for downstream methanol synthesis. CRI’s ETL technology consist of five process modules. In many ethanol production and biogas processes.

Co-Electrolysis of CO2 and H2O for the Production of Liquid Fuels

Green Car Congress

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.

Greenius Will Meet With Al Gore To Talk Climate Reality

Creative Greenius

We may well be as doomed as doomed can be already – as I frequently tell my friends that we are, and the “ Hell and High Water ” may already have arrived earlier then even Joe Romm’s dire predictions, but I’m not quite ready to cash in my chips and give up the ghost. First staff job I’ve had since 1982.
