MIT researchers propose mechanism for overcoming bottleneck in electroreduction of CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have identified , quantified, and modeled a major reason for the poor performance of electroreduction processes to convert CO 2 to fuel or other useful chemicals. There’s a number of groups working on this, and a number of catalysts that are out there. —Soto et al. Álvaro Moreno Soto, Jack R.

MIT researchers develop oxygen permeable membrane that converts CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, and thence into useful fuels for cars, trucks, and planes, as well as into chemical feedstocks for a wide variety of products.

MIT Report Finds Natural Gas Has Significant Potential to Displace Coal, Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Role in Transportation More Limited

Green Car Congress

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT.
