Three-part catalyst study advances conversion of CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. There has been much work on carbon dioxide conversion to methanol, yet ethanol has many advantages over methanol.

Researchers develop efficient single-atom Ni catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

An international research team has developed a new single-atom electrocatalyst that efficiently converts CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO). You can react it with water to produce energy-rich hydrogen gas, or with hydrogen to produce useful chemicals, such as hydrocarbons or alcohols. There are many ways to use CO.

Elemental boron effective photothermocatalyst for the conversion of CO2 for fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

The “self-heating” boron catalyst makes particularly efficient use of sunlight to reduce CO 2 , serving as a light harvester, photothermal converter, hydrogen generator, and catalyst in one. At this temperature it reacts with water, forming hydrogen and boron oxides in situ. The boron oxides act as “traps” for CO 2 molecules.

VTT and Neste to build integrated Power-to-Liquids demo facility; CO2 capture, green hydrogen and e-fuels production

Green Car Congress

E-fuels offer a way to expand the carbon-neutral transport fuel pool beyond biomass-based renewable fuels to replace fossil fuels in existing internal combustion engines. Power-to-Liquids technologies are on their way to commercialization in scale. —Lars Peter Lindfors, Senior Vice President Innovation at Neste.
