Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method to convert captured CO 2 into methane, the primary component of natural gas. Different methods for converting CO 2 into methane have long been known. Heldebrant, D., Kothandaraman, J., Lopez, J.S., Walter, E.D., Burton, S.D.

Research has shown that CO 2 can be converted to a variety of commodities, but because of the low energy state of CO 2 , the production costs would be prohibitive in many cases. that could be recovered while reacting CO 2 with minerals, such as manganese and calcium to permanently store CO 2 as carbonate rocks.

Kreutz used two examples of CCTF systems in his analysis: biodiesel from microalgae and Sandia National Laboratory’s S2P process (an effort to utilize concentrated solar energy to convert waste CO 2 into synthetic fuels, earlier post ). Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., their CO 2 (e.g. ~90%)

Ecolectro is developing alkaline exchange ionomers (AEIs) to enable low-cost fuel cell and electrolyzer technologies. However, they currently operate using ethanol fuel, converted into hydrogen and carbon monoxide prior to entering the fuel cell in a process called reforming. University of California, San Diego.

With two Electric cars, at the time a Nissan Lean and Mitsubishi Outlander, we use a considerable amount of electricity but not much petrol, so already we were a reasonable way down the less CO2 road. The solar panels attach to the roof and convert solar light into electrical energy. Lets looks at each item in turn.

ORNL researchers developed a catalyst made of copper nanoparticles (seen as spheres) embedded in carbon nanospikes that can convert carbon dioxide into ethanol. For instance, the process could be used to store excess electricity generated from variable power sources such as wind and solar. Click to enlarge.
