Novel membrane-free Mg-CO2 battery sequesters CO2 and generates electricity

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) have designed a membrane-free (MF) Mg-CO 2 battery as an advanced approach to sequester CO 2 emissions by generating electricity and value-added chemicals without any harmful by-products. A paper on the work is published in the journal Nano Energy.

UCLA team proposes non-photosynthetic biological conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

A team at UCLA is introducing a biological yet non-photosynthetic CO 2 reduction mechanism that has the potential to yield environmental and economic benefits via CO 2 -derived high-value products. Their paper is published in the journal Joule. Most of us naturally associate biological CO 2 conversion with photosynthesis in plants and algae.
