Solar fuels company Joule teams with DNV GL for commercial validation of CO2-to-fuels production process

Green Car Congress

Joule has pioneered a CO 2 -to-fuel production platform using engineered bio-catalysts continuously to convert waste CO 2 directly into renewable fuels such as ethanol or hydrocarbons for diesel, jet fuel and gasoline. This cleared the catalyst for commercial use at the company’s demonstration plant in Hobbs, New Mexico.
