SARI researchers propose novel method to enhance electrocatalytic conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

The electrochemical conversion of CO 2 into carbon-based fuels and valuable feedstocks by renewable electricity is an attractive strategy for carbon neutrality. CO is the key component of syngas, a mixture of CO and hydrogen that can be directly converted into various value-added chemicals via well-developed industrial processes.

PNNL team develops new low-cost method to convert captured CO2 to methane

Green Car Congress

By using a water-lean post-combustion capture solvent, (N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-3-morpholinopropan-1-amine) (2-EEMPA), they achieved a greater than 90% conversion of captured CO 2 to hydrocarbons—mostly methane—in the presence of a heterogenous Ru catalyst under relatively mild reaction conditions (170 °C and 2 pressure). Heldebrant, D.,

Navigator CO2 to provide ~600k TPA of CO2 as a feedstock for ultra-low carbon Infinium eFuels

Green Car Congress

Electrofuels provider Infinium and comprehensive carbon management company Navigator CO2 entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and long-term relationship for Navigator to deliver 600,000 tons per annum (TPA) of biogenic carbon dioxide from its Heartland Greenway system to a future Infinium facility for the production of electrofuels (eFuels).

Engineered E. coli could make carbohydrates, renewable fuel, from CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Newcastle University in the UK have engineered Escherichia coli bacteria to capture carbon dioxide using hydrogen gas to convert it into formic acid. coli, hydrogenating carbon dioxide into an organic acid,” said Dr. Sargent. “We Escherichia coli is gram-negative bacterium that is a workhorse for biotechnology.

Snam and Saipem sign MoU to work together on green hydrogen development and CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

Italy-based Snam, a leading energy infrastructure operator, and Saipem, an Italian multinational oilfield services company, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to start working together to define and to develop initiatives for green hydrogen production and transport, and for carbon dioxide capture, transport and reuse or storage (CCS and CCU).

New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 using renewable energy could establish a climate-neutral, artificial carbon cycle. Conversion into liquid fuels would be advantageous because they have high energy density and are safe to store and transport. These could then be burned as needed. Credit: Angewandte Chemie.
