GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

The process is constrained by the (low) cost of electricity. Monel cathode substrates, electrolyte equilibration, and a mixed metal (NiChrome) nucleation facilitate the synthesis of this CNT wool. Carbon dioxide is the sole reactant in this CNT transformation, providing a financial impetus for the removal of this greenhouse gas.

EPFL team develops low-cost catalyst for splitting CO2

Green Car Congress

EPFL scientists have developed an Earth-abundant and low-cost catalytic system for splitting CO 2 into CO and oxygen—an important step towards achieving the conversion of renewable energy into hydrocarbon fuels. Using only Earth-abundant materials to catalyze both reactions, this design keeps the cost of the system low.

GWU team develops cost-effective solar process to produce lime for cement without CO2 emission

Green Car Congress

and the remainder (30 to 40%) from burning fossil fuels, such as coal, to heat the kiln reactors to ~900°C.Here we show a new thermal chemistry, based on anomalies in oxide solubilites, to generate CaO, without CO2 emission, in a high throughput, cost effective, environment conducive to the formation of cement. The CO is produced.
