BGU researchers developing more efficient process for hydrogenation of CO2 to synthetic crude

Green Car Congress

The “green feed” crude can be refined into renewable liquid fuels using established technologies and can be transported using existing infrastructure to gas stations. The basic idea behind the synthesis is the combination of two well-known reactions: the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) and the Reverse Water-Gas Shift (RWGS).
