Stanford/DTU team devises new effective solid-oxide electrochemical cell for CO2 electrolysis

Green Car Congress

Ceria catalysts are known carbon inhibitors for fuel cell (oxidation) reactions; however, for more severe electrolysis (reduction) conditions, catalyst design strategies remain unclear. Although plants reduce CO 2 to carbon-rich sugars naturally, an artificial electrochemical route to CO has yet to be widely commercialized. the U.S.

Bosch study highlights potential of e-fuels to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

In addition, synthetic fuels can be designed to burn practically soot-free. In this way, the cost of exhaust-gas treatment can be reduced, Bosch adds. Pilot projects to commercialize synthetic diesel, gasoline, and gas are currently underway in Norway and Germany. The same applies to the existing combustion-engine expertise.
