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

Green Car Congress

Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. 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.

Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

Climeworks’ new facility in Iceland transports the CO 2 filtered out of the air below the Earth’s surface, where natural processes then mineralize it. Water from the Hellisheiði power plant then flows through the facility and transports the carbon dioxide roughly 2,000 meters below the surface of the Earth.

million) STORE&GO research project. Moreover, it provides for unrestricted use of the natural gas infrastructure, including for transport and storage. This stored energy is then available as backup whenever there is an insufficient supply of solar and wind power. Type of CO2 source (biogas; waste water; atmosphere).

AirCapture, OCOchem and partners win $2.93M DOE grant for direct air capture of CO2 and conversion to formic acid

Green Car Congress

The formic acid can then be stored, transported, and used directly in many industrial, consumer, transportation, and agricultural industries.
